| Abstract Scope |
This work investigates the effects of forging on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AISI 316LSi produced via Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). Two approaches were studied: (1) thick-walled 316LSi deposits fabricated by WAAM followed by (cold or hot) forging on the extracted samples, and (2) sequential forging applied during the WAAM deposition process. For both approaches, the influence of forging parameters on microstructure, ferrite content, and mechanical properties across different building orientations will be reported. |
