Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Welding is a common connection method used in production today, and efficient smart welding methods can increase productivity. Additionally, additive manufacturing based on layer-by-layer stacking has a significant advantage in processing efficiency; it is also the most promising processing and manufacturing technology for the future. In view of the current problems of additive manufacturing, it is necessary to develop new additive methods and modification processes that can significantly improve the performance of the deposited components. Thus, publications about the manufacturing, microstructure characterization, and property analysis of metallic materials manufactured by welding and additive manufacturing are encouraged to be submitted for publishing in this Special Issue. Furthermore, the structure design, microstructure configuration, and strengthening mechanism analysis of the alloys manufactured by welding and additive manufacturing will also be fully considered. This Special Issue is thus organized to publish state-of-the-art works that aim to offer some guidance on the manufacturing, investigation, and application of alloys fabricated using welding and additive manufacturing.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit papers for this special issue. We accept full papers, communications, and reviews.

Dr. Chao Chen

Abstract: Welded tuffs have a wide range of welding degrees and show significant variability in mechanical behavior. However, the detailed influence of welding degree on the meso-mechanical behavior of welded tuffs remains unclear. Based on petrographic and pore-structure analysis, we conducted a series of meso-mechanical experiments on weakly to strongly welded tuffs by utilizing a mesoscale real-time loading-observation-acquisition system. The results indicated that the strongly and weakly welded tuffs showed a small range in mineralogical composition and porosity, while the meso-mechanical behavior exhibited significant variability. Strongly welded tuffs showed lower uniaxial compression strength, weaker mechanical anisotropy, and smaller fracture surface roughness. In contrast, weakly welded tuffs exhibited higher uniaxial compression strength, stronger mechanical anisotropy, and rougher fracture surface roughness. Welded tuffs with strong packing and welding of glass shards tended to have fractures propagating along the maximum principal direction, while those with weak packing and welding of glass shards may have had failure along the alignment of glass shards. The influence of welding degree on the meso-mechanical behavior of welded tuffs probably originates from their diagenesis environments, mainly depending on the combined effect of the pyroclastic properties and pseudo-rhyolitic structure. The findings reveal the meso-mechanical differences of welded tuffs and shed light on improving tuffs for stable and durable construction. Full article

Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), recognized for its capability to fabricate large-scale, complex parts, stands out due to its significant deposition rates and cost-effectiveness, positioning it as a forward-looking manufacturing method. In this research, we employed two welding currents to produce samples of 316 austenitic stainless steel utilizing the Cold Metal Transfer wire arc additive manufacturing process (CMT-WAAM). This study initially evaluated the maximum allowable arc travel speed (MAWFS) and the formation characteristics of the deposition bead, considering deposition currents that vary between 100 A and175 A in both CMT and CMT pulse(CMT+P) modes. Thereafter, the effect of the CMT+P mode arc on the microstructure evolution was analyzed using the EBSD technique. The findings indicate that the arc travel speed and deposition current significantly affect the deposition bead’s dimensions. Specifically, an increase in travel speed or a reduction in current results in reduced bead width and height. Moreover, the employment of the CMT+P arc mode led to a reduction in the average grain size in the mid-section of the sample fabricated by CMT arc and wire additive manufacturing, from 13.426 μm to 9.429 μm. Therefore, the components of 316 stainless steel produced through the CMT+P-WAAM method are considered fit for industrial applications. Full article
