- Abstract
Herein, three types of multihierarchical lattice structures (MHLSs) with different configurations are designed based on the body‐centered‐cubic (BCC) unit cell. The designed lattice structures are fabricated using Ti‐6Al‐4 V powder as feedstock material through selective laser melting (SLM) technology. The microstructure and surface morphology of the SLM‐formed samples are observed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Theoretical calculation and quasistatic compression experiment are carried out to investigate their mechanical properties. The result shows that the size error of slave cell with small strut diameters is greater than that of master cell with larger strut diameters. All MHLSs exhibit superior mechanical properties compared to the BCC lattice structure. Moreover, the specific elastic modulus and specific yield strength of MHLSs with the best mechanical properties are 70.1% and 51.0% higher than that of BCC lattice structure, respectively. Meanwhile, theoretical calculation results of the elastic modulus and yield strength are consistent with the results of quasi‐static compression testing. The fracture morphology analysis indicates that the struts of the MHLSs samples exhibit a mixed brittle–plastic fracture mode, while the nodes exhibit a plastic fracture mode.
