Abstract
First investigations have been carried out on the characterisation of the as-welded surface roughness of unmilled wire arc additive manufactured (WAAM) components, followed by an experimental determination of the fatigue strength. Subsequently, randomly based finite-element (FE) simulations are carried out to expand the findings. The statistical characteristics of the surface provide the input values for the Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation. Here, the fatigue strengths of single-wire and multiple-wire welded components have been compared applying the effective notch stress concept performing over 2200 simulations. Finally, a fatigue detail classification for surfaces of WAAM components is given following the principles of EN 1993-1-9 [1].
