Abstract
Additively manufactured (AM) metal-metal composites consisting of PrintCasted 316 L austenitic stainless-steel lattice structures infiltrated with A356 casting alloy, have recently been developed for use in high energy absorption systems with potential applications ranging from static load bearing to dynamic blast containment structures. This system has a unique mechanical behavior as the volume fraction of lattice increases showing a transition from localized to de-localized failure and dramatic increase in energy absorption capability. In this work, PrintCast A356/316 L composite tensile specimens were produced with lattice volume fractions ranging from 20 % to 50 % to capture the range of this behavior. Finite element simulations support neutron diffraction measurements of stress state. Results illustrate that in tension, the reinforcement material is in tension while the matrix support material is in compression, information offering significant insight into the transition to de-localized failure. Moreover, the simulation results provide further insight into how interfacial bonding (or lack of bonding) affects the energy absorption capabilities of the PrintCast composites.
