Abstract

Bimetallic additive manufactured materials replace traditionally manufactured surfaces. Due to the accumulation of excessive heat input during the layer-wise deposition in the Gas Metal Arc based Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (GMA-WAAM), there is a necessity to analyse the consequences of heat input on microstructural and mechanical properties. The present work deals with the preparation of a bimetallic additive manufactured surface, using hybrid manufactured technology, with a combination of metal forming and wire arc additive manufacturing technology. The present study implemented a variable heat input method for each deposited layer during the WAAM process. SS304L hot forged specimen was taken as substrate material and ER308L wire spool was used for the deposition with pulse mode. During the deposition process, the heat input was varied for each layer. Robot Studio software was used to provide the required heat input for deposition. This provides the best integration between the welding equipment and robot controller, superior path performance and accurate calibration. The microstructure of various layers, mechanical properties, and corrosion rate were studied and found that the hybrid manufacturing technology with variable heat input revealed good results.
