The compression behavior of Ti–6Al–4V lattice structure with a cell shape of rhombic dodecahedron, which was fabricated by electron beam melting, was investigated at different temperatures. A series of quasi-static compression tests were performed at ambient temperature, 200°C, 400°C and 600°C with...
