AI Technical Summary
Existing sintering-based additive manufacturing technologies cannot accurately predict the pore distribution and shrinkage deformation of hierarchical porous lattice components during high-temperature sintering, resulting in a bottleneck in improving product structure accuracy and yield.
A dual-pore model is established, which decomposes the pore system into micro-relative density and macro-relative density. The model is then solved iteratively using the total strain rate equation and the finite element analysis framework to predict hierarchical porosity and shrinkage deformation.
It enables accurate prediction of pore distribution and three-dimensional shrinkage deformation of hierarchical porous lattice components, improving manufacturing success rate and product accuracy.
