ow-a-days, light weighting is an important topic for global
researchers since it is a significant and efficient way to
save energy and reduce carbon emission. There are two major
approaches to achieve the purpose of light weighting, one is
to introduce the materials with high specific strength and the
other one is to vary the design by introducing the topology or
lightweight porous structure. Either, of these two approaches
was very difficult to be achieved due to the limitation of
traditional process. However, due to the maturation of additive
manufacturing process, it is possible to realize these two
approaches at the same time. In this study, a high specific
strength Al alloys was introduced to fabricate samples by
using selective laser melting (SLM) process. Meanwhile, a
porous structure was introduced to develop the potentially
lightweight materials. To further examine the potential of this
high specific strength porousmaterial as a lightweight material,
the porous samples with different porosity were fabricated.
In this research, all of the samples were analyzed and tested
carefully, including XRD, SEM and compression test. The
relationship between the materials, process, porous structure,
microstructure and mechanical properties is explored and
discussed in details.
