Significant Attention in Industry and Academia for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) - A Review

Abstract

The review paper aims to outline the most significant accomplishments in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing. It can capture the benefits of using the Additive Manufacturing method to manufacture layer-by-layer deposition at significantly reduced production values. Due to the viability of cautiously producing bulky metal components with comparatively high deposition rates, weighty progress has been complete in the thoughtful of the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing process. Compared to ancient production, the use of this method has resulted in decreased Buy-To-Fly ratios of components the many applications such as saltwater valves, pumps, and turbine propellers, thereby aiding small-batch production. The input parameter is the travel speed, and the output deposition is layered large-scale metal elements with comparatively high deposition rates. The creation of cost-efficient prototypes as microstructure and mechanical properties, deformation, porosity, and cracking are also concerted in different alloy components.
