“…Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is the most commonly used energy source in WAAM because GMAW-based additive manufacturing has several advantages, the most important of which is lower cost (Chernovol et al, 2020;Giarollo et al, 2022;Navarro et al, 2021;Van Thao, 2020). In addition, the technique offers a high deposition rate (Chaturvedi et al, 2021;Nagasai et al, 2021;Paskual et al, 2018;Shen et al, 2020;Van Thao, 2020) and high welding efficiency, that is, material and energy (Giarollo et al, 2022;Greebmalai & Warinsiriruk, 2020;Henckell et al, 2020;Paskual et al, 2018;Reisgen et al, 2020). GMAW is more suitable for medium and large components (Feucht et al, 2021;Gierth et al, 2020;Pandey, 2019;Waldschmitt, 2019).…”
