Abstract Scope |
To realize the transformational potential for Additive Manufacturing to improve performance and safety of energy generation, it is essential to recognize that AM parts will be integrated into larger assemblies. Joining and welding technologies are the foundation for integrating complex metal products for demanding environments and are the focus of this talk.
The presentation consists of 3 parts: overview of metal welding approaches and their capabilities mapped to metal AM; results of original research characterizing microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloy parts joined using friction stir welding, GMAW, GTAW, and impact welding; and views on gaps in research together with the business case for further study.
