In this paper, we present a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique based on in situ detection of defects up to 100 °C by ultrasonic (UT) during construction parts metal additive manufacturing technology known as wire arc (WAAM). The proposed makes use interlayer application commercial solder flux serve coupling medium for inspection using special-purpose UT probe. experimental work was carried...

Additive manufacturing (AM) or “3D-printing,” which is another term often used to describe all additive manufacturing processes but is in fact just a subset of AM technologies, has received substantial and rapidly growing attention in recent years in both the popular press and in technical publications. Phrases like “make anything at any time,” “art to part,” and “complexity is free,” along wit...

Ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) technology can produce structural materials with complex geometries and embedded sensors. Under UAM-processing conditions, interfaces are created between these due to high-strain rate (> 105 s−1) plastic deformation. Fundamental understanding of strengthening mechanisms at needed for engineering deployment. In this research, we correlated the interface mi...

With the increasing demand for high agility and fast response of high-level equipment in aerospace energy power fields, it is increasingly urgent to improve performance high-temperature wear resistance corresponding components. Ceramic-reinforced titanium matrix composites have excellent resistance, but, laser additive manufacturing, primary ceramic phase coarse, morphology difficult control, w...
