Abstract Scope |
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has gained significant interest owing to its ability to create near-net shape components relatively fast. However, AM processing of certain important metals such as Aluminum is still challenging. In this regard, Additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) has been explored to AM prepare aluminum alloy components and shows promising results in overcoming AM associated challenges. AFSD involves frictional heating of a feed material and depositing it on a substrate. It can be performed either as a consumable tool or deposition using a rotating tool containing a congruous feedstock. It is promising due to its ability to create freeform and fully dense structures with refined grains owing to dynamic recrystallization. In the present research, AFSD of Al alloy is performed to create a solid component and extensively studied for microstructure, texture, and multi-scale mechanical properties. The results from the study will help to create microstructure-mechanical property-process parameter correlations. |
