Abstract Scope |
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a cost-effective metal AM process and can produce complex shapes with large sizes. This work uses WAAM to create a chromium gradient in a steel alloy for tailored material properties and improved performance characteristics. The authors optimize process parameters to achieve the desired gradient, and comprehensive metallurgical analysis is conducted to evaluate the microstructure and composition of the alloy. The resulting alloy exhibits a continuous variation of chromium content, which imparts unique mechanical, corrosion, and wear-resistant properties. Mechanical testing, including micro tensile and microhardness, is carried out to assess the alloy's performance enhancement. This research contributes to the field of additive manufacturing of gradient alloys and highlights their potential applications in various industries such as aerospace, biomedical, and defense. |
