Computational design for the wire and arc additive manufacturing process

The world has seen industrial revolutions with advancements in manufacturing technologies. The advancements in Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies will bring another revolution sooner rather than later. Nowadays, the Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process is already used to manufacture large-scale structures such as ship...

Practical transient thermal modelling for hardness prediction in wire and ARC additive manufactured steel blocks

Qualification of the mechanical properties of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) products is an essential step for a successful introduction of this process in industry. To realise this, the relationship between processing conditions, the thermal history and the resulting mechanical properties needs to be established. Hardness is an easy-to...
