Abstract

Multilayer deposits of 2319 aluminum alloy were made using the Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding-based Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technique. The effect of interlayer time interval (ITI) on deposits' microstructure and mechanical behavior is investigated. The microstructure of the ten-layer (all regions), twenty-layer (top), and forty-layer (top) deposits show that there are grains that are all equiaxed. But the middle and bottom parts of the twenty-and-forty-layered deposits comprised both columnar and equiaxed grains. The strength of the twenty-layer deposits with two- and five-minute interlayer time intervals are 217±5 and 237±5 MPa, respectively. In contrast, the forty-layer deposits recorded strengths of 247±5 and 258±5MPa, respectively. Therefore, the twenty- and forty-layered deposits fabricated at 5 min interlayer time intervals recorded better tensile properties.
