Abstract:

Gas Metal Arc welding (GMAW) has shown potential, for Layered Manufacturing (LM) of metallic components, due to its inherent feature of high inter-layer and metallurgical bonding. Residual Stress induced warping is a major concern in a variety of LM processes, particularly those seeking to build parts directly without post processing steps. The temperature distribution and re-melting depth plays an important role in controlling residual stresses and distortion. This paper presents a 3D finite element based thermal model of a novel welding based deposition process as applied to LM. The model showed good agreement with experimental data. The results show that the process is not axis symmetric and a complete 3D model is required for accurate prediction of temperatures and deformation.
