Processing Techniques, Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of Wire Arc Additive Manufactured Stainless Steel: A Review
Additive manufacturing is capable to reduce carbon footprints in manufacturing for sustainable development, hence gaining popularity day by day. In contrast to subtractive manufacturing, additive manufacturing fabricates part by depositing the right quantity of material at the right place as successive thin layers, so as to reduce waste and carbon footprints. There are various techniques available for additive manufacturing requiring materials in powder form to create innovative, energy-efficient, and economic structures and design with low buy-to-fly ratios, which were impossible with traditional manufacturing techniques. Wire arc additive manufacturing is one such candidate technique of adaptable nature that can revolutionise and transform metal 3-D printing/manufacturing as a result of recent technological advancements. This is capable to print three-dimensional high-quality, cost-effective, intricate metal components that are difficult to develop by other conventional methods and therefore widely used in the field of aerospace, automobile, and several industrial sectors. This article aims to review various aspects of the wire arc additive manufacturing process such as microstructure and mechanical behaviour, defects, and residual stress development in fabricated steels/ parts, followed by the summary and scope for future work.
