Abstract
In this paper, thin layers of NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) triply periodic minimal surface lattices (TPMS) are fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), considering different laser scanning strategies and relative densities. The obtained architected samples are studied using experimental methods to characterize their microstructural features, including the formation of cracks and balling imperfections. It is observed that balling is not only affected by the parameters of the fabrication process but also by structural characteristics, including the effective densities of the fabricated samples. In particular, it is reported here that higher densities of the TPMS geometries considered are generally associated with increased dimensions of balling imperfections. Moreover, scanning strategies at 45° angle with respect to the principal axes of the samples resulted in increased balling.
