Abstract
In metal metallurgy, precipitation strengthening is widely used to increase material strength by utilizing the impediment effect of the second-phase particles on dislocation movements. Inspired by this mechanism, in this paper, novel multiphase heterogeneous lattice materials are developed with enhanced mechanical properties utilizing a similar hindering effect of second-phase lattice cells on the shear band propagation. For this purpose, biphase and triphase lattice samples are fabricated using high-speed multi jet fusion (MJF) and digital light processing (DLP) additive manufacturing techniques, and a parametric study is carried out to investigate their mechanical properties. Different from the conventional random distribution, the second-phase and third-phase cells in this work are continuously distributed along the regular pattern of a larger-scale lattice to form internal hierarchical lattice structures. The results show that the triphase lattices possess balanced mechanical properties. Interestingly, this indicates that introducing a relatively weak phase also has the potential to improve the stiffness and plateau stress, which is distinct from the common mixed rule. This work is aimed at providing new references for the heterogeneous lattice design with outstanding mechanical properties through material microstructure inspiration. © 2023 American Chemical Society.
