Additive manufacturing (AM) is now recognised as a viable alternative to processes such as
casting, forging, and subtractive technologies such as machining. Wire arc additive …

This paper presents a systematic critical review of quantitative sustainability assessment
studies on metal additive manufacturing (MAM) with a life cycle perspective. Potential …

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) enables the production of structural components
with topologically optimised geometries thus leading to significant self-weight reductions for …

The process characteristics of the synergic cold metal transfer (CMT) process have been
examined for welding aluminium alloy. Utilising a simple backlighting system and through …

Wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is acquiring impetus for fabricating medium-

Residual stress and distortion continue to be important issues in shipbuilding and are still
subject to large amounts of research. This paper demonstrates how the type of welding …

The thermal or process efficiency in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is a crucial input to
numerical models of the process and requires the use of an accurate welding calorimeter. In …

The fatigue behavior of laser hybrid welded 7000 series aluminum alloys with high Zn was
investigated by electron backscattered diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy …

The distribution of the energy in the keyhole plasma arc welding process has significant
effect on the final weld quality. In this study, a novel fully coupled plasma arc-keyhole-weld …

The microstructural stability of Waspaloy produced by wire arc-based Cold Metal Transfer
