Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing

This book presents contributions focused on the latest innovations and cutting-edge developments in wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). A wide range of topics related to WAAM concepts, tools, techniques, modeling, optimization, and application are covered. This book brings forth all the fundamental details of WAAM by highlighting the challenges, opportunities, and requirements. It covers topics such as modeling and optimization of process parameters, real-time process monitoring, simulation, application of finite element analysis, the study of microstructural and mechanical properties, strategies and processes for high-quality WAAM, and so on. Further, many applications of advanced techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, and case studies are thoroughly discussed in this book, making it the first of its kind to discuss this particular domain. This book will be useful to researchers, academicians, and other additive manufacturing professionals working in WAAM.
