Abstract
As a new type composite material, steel-based porous materials presented the higher stiffness, strength and higher temperature resistance in comparison with the nonferrous metals. In order to realize the free-design of pore structure and free-control of porosity of steel-based porous material, indirect 3D printing technology combined with the investment casting process has been used to fabricate the steel-based porous materials. The finite element method has been carried out to study the relationship between the porosity and the mechanical properties by quasi-static compression simulation, which is consistent with compression test. The modified Gibson-Ashby formula is used to establish the quantitative relationship between porosity and elastic modulus and yield strength of steel-based porous materials based on Kelvin structure.
