| Abstract Scope |
Lattice structures have demonstrated significant potential for a wide range of industrial applications due to their exceptional thermo-mechanical properties. This study investigates the compressive creep property and microstructural characteristics of SS316L lattices experimentally and computationally. As-built face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) SS316L lattices were tested under various stress conditions in the temperature range of 550–650 °C. The minimum creep strain rates and creep behavior were found to conform to the Norton–Bailey power law. Finite element simulations were conducted using both beam element and continuum element models to replicate the creep experiments under identical conditions. While the continuum model more accurately captured local stress and strain distributions, the simplified beam model offered significantly higher computational efficiency. Microstructural evolution of the grain size and distribution was characterized and correlated to the creep behaviors. These findings provide a reliable basis for predicting the high-temperature creep property of lattice structures. |
