Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing technology that offers significant potential for lightweight applications in space, aerospace, and automotive industries as well as in mechanical engineering.
There have been significant efforts in manufacturing lightweight wallboard.
One expert said it was a significant step because new lightweight materials could be used and produced to airline safety standards.
This approach was deemed viable based on FEM analyses that indicated significant stress reductions using lightweight material.
According to Herold et al. [1] and Staeves [2] this approach indicates significant potential regarding smart lightweight construction.
Values are mean ± SD. *: significant difference with the lightweight rowers group; : significant difference with the heavyweight rowers group; #: significant difference with the wrestlers group; ¤: significant difference with the boxers group; ‡: significant difference with the judokas group.
Despite their significant potential as ultra-lightweight composite materials, comparatively little attention has been given to the microstructure of deformation formed periodic cellular metals (PCMs).
In conclusion, despite the significant differences noted between the lightweight mortars and those incorporating natural aggregates, the former remain a technically and economically viable alternative.
The simplified, lightweight architecture shows significant advantages over conventional carbon-based GDEs in terms of weight, thickness and conductivity, and hence may be useful for mobile and portable applications.
