Abstract

Relationship between the macroscopic and local strains of porous metals is examined by microstructural observation. Open-cell porous titanium with 60% porosity was compressed up to 30% macroscopic strain at room temperature. Open-cell porous nickel with 95% porosity was compressed up to 40% macroscopic strain at room temperature. Local strains in cell walls of both porous titanium and nickel were evaluated by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Absolute value of the local strain increased with increasing the macroscopic strain and it is smaller than that of macroscopic strain. In addition, the value of the local strain at the cell junctions was larger than that of the center of cell struts.
