Thermal modeling and characterization of wire arc additive manufactured duplex stainless steel

In this study, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) based Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process is used to build two parts, tube and wall from 2209 Duplex Stainless Steel. Duplex stainless steel is extremely effective against stress corrosion cracking due to existence of an equal portion of austenite and ferrite phases. The challenge is monitoring of the process parameters and cooling rate to promote ferrite phase formation. To this end,...
