Although TWIP and TRIP steels have a high total elongation, their limited post-uniform deformation results in moderate FLC<sub>0</sub> values. In contrast, SAPH and DP steels exhibit moderate total elongation with appreciable post-uniform elongation, resulting in comparatively higher FLC<sub>0</sub>. In aluminium alloys, limited strain-hardening and low normal anisotropy reduce FLC<sub>0</sub>, whereas cryogenic conditions suppress dynamic recovery and thereby improve FLC<sub>0</sub>.

This work investigates the mechanical properties and energy absorption capabilities of AlSi10Mg strut-based and Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS)-based lattice structures with different topologies. Specifically, the study included 9 lattice geometries: strut-based designs such as Body-Centered Cubic (BCC), BCC with Z-struts (BCCZ), and Rhombic Dodecahedron (RD); as well as TPMS-solid and TPMS-sheet structures of I-graph-wrapped package (IWP), Diamond, and Gyroid. First, the alloy’s microstructure was examined, and then the stress-strain curves and deformation modes of the lattice structures were analyzed. Regression models were derived from the experimental data to predict the first peak stress, elastic modulus, and energy absorption of lattice structures. Finally, the absolute and specific properties of AlSi10Mg lattices were compared with each other and with lattices made of different alloys from the literature. The results showed that TPMS-sheet lattice structures have the highest absolute and specific properties.

Therefore, it is still inadequately studied, while the 3D printing parameters are expected to affect its mechanical performance. To examine the influence of critical process variables on the mechanical and thermal properties of HPP PSU samples, a series of test specimens were fabricated using the MEX 3D printing technique. A comprehensive experimental design modeling approach, specifically the Taguchi L16 method, was employed. Five control factors, each at four levels, were considered: raster angle, head speed, nozzle temperature, fill density, and strand width. The mechanical response of the printed specimens was evaluated through measurements of tensile strength, Young's modulus, tensile toughness, and tensile yield strength. The experimental data also facilitated the application of two regression models to interpret the obtained results. The thermal stability and phase transition of PSU were examined using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The microstructural characteristics of the printed parts were evaluated via scanning electron microscopy. Optimization achieved more than 200 % improvement in three of the four response metrics (163 % in the fourth one).
