The single-material overlapping models are incompatible with multi-material wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). A newly developed generalised model considers dissimilar adjoining beads in WAAM. geometric of coupled an algorithm identifies the process conditions for two materials to maintain same bead heights. model, implemented stainless-steel and creep-resistant-steel pair, yields significant scientific practical findings. Compared a fixed distance single-material, e.g. 0.66 or 0.738...
While the recent research in manufacturing bi-metallic structures using wire and arc directed energy deposition focuses on feasibility studies to understand material compatibility, study presented here encircles a larger design framework, integrating process, intermediate surface conditions, mutual (hatching) direction. The investigation addresses issues associated with actual shades light intrinsic mechanism responsible for process-induced anisotropy resulting interfacial strength....
