    | Abstract Scope | 
    
Solid-state additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) process is a high throughput metal 3D-printing technology. The authors investigated various deposition parameters for producing Al2050 pieces using AFSD. The effects of tool’s rotation speed, deposition traverse speed, and the material feed rate on the surface defects and flash of the AFSD parts are discussed and a practical set of deposition parameters are introduced. The microstructural characterization has been performed for various regions of the AFSD parts, and the part’s hardness is also examined along the built-direction. |
