Wire and arc additive manufacturing of aluminium-ceramic composites shows great potential to produce high strength materials. By incorporation of nanoparticles in the feedstock wire, fine-grained material with low susceptibility for solidification cracking and enhanced strength can be obtained. In...

The development of customised aluminium alloys for welding and additive manufacturing (AM) is proposed to solve several quality issues and to enhance the mechanical integrity of components. The introduction of ceramic grain refining agents shows great potential as alloy addition as to limit cracking...

Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) of metallic materials is expected to become part of the new industrial revolution. The possibilities for complex designs and superior mechanical properties can in many cases replace traditional manufacturing processes such as casting. In order to benchmark...
