“…Table 1 shows the process parameters used to investigate the bonding mechanism (Dehoff and Babu, 2010; Monaghan et al , 2015). In-situ fracture surface analyses showed metallurgical bonding through softening and amplified plastic deformation at high power input (Han et al , 2020). The effect of each parameter was observed by analysis of variance (ANOVA; Han et al , 2022).…”

Purpose This study aims to outline the current challenges in ultrasonic additive manufacturing (AM). AM has revolutionized manufacturing and offers possible solutions when conventional techniques reach technological boundaries. Ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) uses mechanical vibrations to join similar or dissimilar metals in three-dimensional assemblies. This hybrid fabrication method got attention due to minimum scrap and near-net-shape products. Design/methodology/approach This paper reviews significant UAM areas in process parameters such as pressure force, amplitude, weld speed and temperature. These process parameters used in different studies by researchers are compared and presented in tabular form. UAM process improvements and understanding of microstructures have been reported. This review paper also enlightens current challenges in the UAM process, process improvement methods such as heat treatment methods, foil-to-foil overlap and sonotrode surface roughness to increase the bond quality of welded parts. Findings Results showed that UAM could solve various problems and produce net shape products. It is concluded that process parameters such as pressure, weld speed, amplitude and temperature greatly influence weld quality by UAM. Post-weld heat treatment methods have been recommended to optimize the mechanical strength of ultrasonically welded joints process parameters. It has been found that the tension force is vital for the deformation of the pre-machined structures and for the elongation of the foil during UAM bonding. It is recommended to critically investigate the mechanical properties of welded parts with standard test procedures. Originality/value This study compiles relevant research and findings in UAM. The recent progress in UAM is presented in terms of material type, process parameters and process improvement, along with key findings of the particular investigation. The original contribution of this paper is to identify the research gaps in the process parameters of ultrasonic consolidation.

“…Ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) is a solid-state AM method that uses metal foil feedstock to generate near-net-form objects. Han et al 98 explored how the welding power affects the strength of as-welded UAM steel. The shear strength of a cobalt-chromium-coated sonotrode is increased.…”

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is modernizing the manufacturing industry by enabling the layer-by-layer deposition process to manufacture objects in nearly any form with minimum material waste. However, components developed utilizing the AM process have dimensional constraints. To address this issue, AM-produced metal materials can be coupled with various welding processes. This article focuses on the foundations, highlighting the distinguishing features, capabilities, and challenges of welding-based AM processes by categorizing them into two major groups; arc welding-based AM like Cold Metal Transfer (CMT), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Plasma Arc Welding (PAW), and high-energy density welding based AM like Laser Beam Welding (LBW) and Electron Beam Welding (EBW). The prior study findings of welding-based AM metal components on mechanical characteristics and microstructural characterization have been addressed. This work will aid researchers, academicians, and professional welders since it gathers vital information on welding-based AM processes. Furthermore, current research in the arena of welding-based AM and its future opportunities has been discussed.

“…This causes localized yielding of surface asperities, breakdown of surface oxide layers, and cold welding of the foil to the baseplate. A wide range of foil/baseplate materials can be welded, including aluminum alloys [8], copper [9], nickel alloys [3], and steels [10]. UAM can be used to weld dissimilar metals [11][12][13][14] and to embed various materials through the additive and subtractive processes.…”
