Abstract Scope |
Wire-arc deposition process in one of the main technologies considered in replacement and augmentation of manufacturing large castings and forgings. Even though it is highly scalable, when it comes to creating objects weighing thousands of pounds, the time to produce the component may take weeks or months. ORNL partnered with Lincoln Electric to develop and test a system to break the barrier of 100lb/h. This work will present the unique challenges in developing a multi head system with prototype deposition torches using Inconel 625 as a test feedstock. |
