Additive Manufacturing of metals - Test artefacts - Compression validation coupons for lattice designs (ISO/ASTM DIS 52959:2024)

This document defines testing coupons and methods for the evaluation of the compression strength of AM lattice designs. The standardized test coupons will accommodate the application of a variety of lattice designs, while standardizing the evaluation method.
This document is generally intended to be used in validation or verification activities for an additively manufactured component that incorporates a lattice or porous (non-solid) design.
Details may include limits or requirements for minimum repeated elements and relative dimensions of the specimen.
Note: Due to inherent variability across the manufacturing of AM components, evaluation methods are needed. Specifically, when an eventual component is intended to be subjected to compressive loads, a representative testing coupon is needed to represent the component to undergo destructive evaluation as a surrogate for the component itself.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
Due to inherent variability of the additive manufacturing (AM) process, consistent manufacture of
components is of greater concern than traditional subtractive methods. The validation and verification
activities to support the manufacture of components is critical in the quality systems to reliably
produce consistent parts. There is a growing usage of lattice or porous designs due to the design
flexibility afforded by AM; however, each manufacturing system may have different capabilities in
terms of resolution of features as well as resultant strength. However, the need for the components
to be used requires the development of
