Abstract
Wire-arc additive manufacturing is a method of 3D printing metal using welding techniques. However, due to heat, the mechanical properties of the deposited material may be affected. Various methods have been proposed to mechanically improve the properties. In this study, cold deformation was introduced to enhance the properties. The effects of a few parameters, including welding speed, wire feed rate, heat input, thickness ratio, and types of material, were studied. Based on the result, the hardness, tensile, and wear properties of the manufactured part improved, while other properties, like impact toughness, had a lower value. Based on the preliminary result, cold deformation shows potential alternatives for part repair or reconstruction of worn or broken parts.
