This paper presents a characterization study of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4 V) micro-struts manufactured using selective laser melting (SLM). Previous test results from sandwich structures with titanium alloy micro-lattice cores showed that the material experienced brittle fracture failure, although it...
