Additive Manufacturing in Wind Energy Systems: A Review

Additive friction stir deposition of AZ31B magnesium alloy

“…AFSD has evolved recently with development of AM machines such as MELD®. AFSD further adds to the advantages of FSAM by enabling fabrication of large structures with relatively higher geometrical complexities [25][26][27] . AFSD has been explored for AM of conventional non-ferrous [28][29][30][31] and ferrous [32] alloys.…”
