The layer-by-layer Additive Manufacturing (AM) by means of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) offers many prospects regarding the design of a part used in aeroplane components and gas turbines. However, structural deviations from the nominal morphology are unavoidable. The cooling of the finished part leads to shrinkage and a high surface roughness is induced by attached powder particles affecting the part volume too.
The integrity and load-bearing capacity of a SLM produced lattice structure (see Fig.1) has been investigated by means of in-situ X-ray computed tomography during compression. The lattice structure was compressed by 10 % in height with an applied maximum force of 5 kN. Additionally, a single strut has been investigated ex-situ as a component of the lattice structure. With the higher resolution achieved on the single strut, the pore distribution (size and location) as well as the surface roughness were assessed. One of the main results coming from the in-situ analysis was that the nodes were identified as the weakest points in the lattice structure.
