Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a metal 3D printing method that allows the cost-effective and efficient production of large-scale elements, has thus gained great interest from architects structural engineers. Integration this novel technology into construction industry, however, requires development clear understanding mechanical behaviour WAAM materials. To end, comprehensive experimental study properties microstructure plates made normal- high-strength steels been undertaken...
Interest in the use of wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) construction has increased rapidly recent years. Key to facilitating wider application is an improved understanding material behaviour. In particular, with structural design by finite element analysis mind, constitutive models describe full range stress-strain response WAAM steels are needed; development such focus present study. normal-strength generally exhibit a featuring well-defined yield point, plateau (for machined...
Wire-arc directed energy deposition (DED), also known as wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), is a metal 3D printing technique that recognised for its high efficiency, cost-effectiveness, flexibility in build scales and suitability the construction sector. However, there remains lack of fundamental data on structural performance WAAM elements, especially regarding their fatigue behaviour.
