“…Also, the process has challenges when working with hard steels and nickels because the foil stock has an affinity to stick to the steel UAM tooling. Research is currently underway to remedy this tool stick problem by hardfacing UAM tooling with Stellite-like alloys (Sridharan, 2016). The development of a reliable process model for UAM to expedite parameter development, forecast weldability and improve process understanding continues to be an area of active research as well.…”

Purpose This paper aims to comprehensively review ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) process history, technology advancements, application areas and research areas. UAM, a hybrid 3D metal printing technology, uses ultrasonic energy to produce metallurgical bonds between layers of metal foils near room temperature. No melting occurs in the process – it is a solid-state 3D metal printing technology. Design/methodology/approach The paper is formatted chronologically to help readers better distinguish advancements and changes in the UAM process through the years. Contributions and advancements are summarized by academic or research institution following this chronological format. Findings This paper summarizes key physics of the process, characterization methods, mechanical properties, past and active research areas, process limitations and application areas. Originality/value This paper reviews the UAM process for the first time.
