“…Traditionally, in fusion welding, monitoring is made through an evaluation of current, voltage, shielding gas flow rate, travel speed, and wire feed speed. In addition, during WAAM, sensors can be used to monitor the temperature at different regions [151], measure the size and geometry of beads [152,153], determine the weld pool characteristics, monitor the acoustic signal of deposition [154], detect electrical conductivity variations [155], and measure oxygen levels [156]. Normally, in fusion-based welding, the process parameters are held constant, but in WAAM, due to differences of thermal behavior throughout parts fabrication, geometric variations and mechanical properties are established and adjustments are necessary.…”
