Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes allow producing the complex components in a layerwise fashion. The complexity includes the design of lighter and stronger components by using lattice structures that can be quickly realized through AM technologies. However, the mechanical behaviour of lattice structures is not completely known, especially in the post-treated state. Thus, this work aims to explore the effect of post-treatment on the compressive strength of specimens with lattice structures. The samples are produced using Ti-6Al-4V powder processed by Electron Beam Melting (EBM). The outcomes of this work confirm the correlation between the heat treatment and final mechanical properties.
