Despite the high efficiency and low cost of wire + arc additive manufacture (WAAM), the epitaxial grown columnar dendrites of WAAM deposited Inconel 718 cause inferior properties and severe anisotropy compared to the wrought ...

Wire - arc additive manufacture (WAAM) is suitable for Inconel 718 components due to its high deposition efficiency. However, large columnar dendrites decrease the mechanical properties and can cause severe mechanical ...
