Additive manufacturing of bimetallic structures

Current industrial applications demand materials with customised features and site-specific properties, many such use bimetallic structures. Bimetallic structures offer unique properties from both materials. are made by joining two different via welding or brazing. Although techniques to join metallic economical, there still critical issues, as managing the heat-affected zone, cracking, premature failures due brittle intermetallic phase formation, especially for dissimilar metals, reproducibility. In recent years, metal additive manufacturing (AM) has been explored towards processing Metal AM systems designed multiple feedstock materials, enabling various printing strategies process This review aims aid researchers in understanding of Various strategies, characterisation methods, challenges, future directions discussed. We envision that this will help further implementation technologies
