Abstract: In order to investigate the influence of structural parameters such as porosity and strut diameter on the tensile properties of porous Ti6Al4V (ELI) alloy, octahedral porous Ti6Al4V (ELI) alloy was precisely fabricated by selective laser melting. The tensile test of porous Ti6Al4V (ELI) alloy with different structural parameters was carried out at room temperature, the fracture morphology of the alloy was observed by scanning electron microscopy to reveal the failure mechanism in tension. Results show that tensile strength and elongation increase with the increase of strut thickness when the porosity is the same, while mechanical properties decrease with the increase of porosity when with similar strut thickness. The massive terraces and few dimples at the fracture surface indicate the brittle and ductile fracture mechanism of the SLM-ed Ti6Al4V (ELI) alloy.
