Abstract
Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has emerged as a transformational technology with the capacity to redefine the landscape of alloy steel component production. This method utilizes an electric arc to selectively fuse a continuous wire feed, progressively constructing intricate metal structures layer by layer. GMAW-based WAAM adaptability enables the creation of complex geometries and customized part designs, making it applicable across diverse industrial sectors. This paper investigates WAAM-specific applications in alloy steel fabrication, focusing on key process variables such as voltage, travel speed, and Gas mixture ratio. The experimental parameters for a single layer are examined with voltage ranging from 20 to 22, travel speed from 23, 25, and 27 mm/min, and Gas mixture ratio 1,5,9 mm/min. It utilizes materials like TM B9, a 1.2- diameter flux-cored wire. Additionally, the study considers the nominal composition (wt-%) of 9 Chromium, and 1 Molybdenum, with small additions of nitrogen and niobium to improve the creep resistance. Furthermore, the final findings of the study suggest that the optimal combination of process variables for achieving highquality weld beads in WAAM of alloy steel components can be determined through Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RSM is a statistical method for analysing and modeling the relationship between the response of interest and some independent variables. In this case, the response variable would be the quality of the weld bead, which encompasses factors such as bead geometry, integrity, and absence of defects.
