Abstract

The present invention discloses a metal lattice structure skeleton material, its preparation method, and application. The metal lattice structure skeleton material utilizes a Gyroid-type TPMS curved surface lattice structure with gradient wall thickness. The thickness H2 corresponding to the nodes of the Gyroid-type TPMS curved surface lattice structure with gradient wall thickness is greater than the thickness H1 corresponding to the middle section of the curved surface. The metal lattice structure skeleton material described in this application utilizes a Gyroid-type three-periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattice structure with a gradient wall thickness. Through the coordinated design of node reinforcement and surface tapering, this material achieves a lightweight design while maintaining the inherent high specific strength characteristics of the TPMS curved surface. This increases porosity and metal matrix material penetration, thereby enhancing the strength of the metal-matrix composite material.
