In general, tensile strength is an important factors when evaluating the quality of a product. In this study, samples are created using Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) technology. WAAM technology is a combination of Metal Active Gas welding technology and Computer numerical control technology, and is used to create products with a near net shape. Experimental process parameters, such as welding speed and welding current, are implemented and a deposition layer test is performed, where samples are deposited, layer-upon-layer, and then face milled to ensure the correct dimensions are achieved before subsequent deposition. Using specialized testing equipment, specific data is obtained in order to determine the tensile strength of the sample. Statistical methods are then used to process the data and establish the effect of the parameters on the tensile strength of the sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
