Abstract

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a significant metal additive manufacturing method that facilitates the production of large-scale metallic components with elevated deposition speeds and economic efficiency. This article examines the wear characteristics of Stainless Steel 308L (SS308L) produced by the WAAM process. The study examines the microstructural attributes, hardness, and tribological parameters of WAAM-fabricated SS308L under varying wear circumstances. This article offers a summary of the latest developments in WAAM research, highlighting the metals appropriate for WAAM.
