High Pressure Interpass Rolling of Wire + Arc Additively Manufactured Titanium Components

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wire + Arc Additively Manufactured components contain significant residual stresses that manifest in distortion. Each layer of an additively manufactured wall was rolled with the aim of reducing the residual stress. Neutron diffraction and contour method measurements show that the residual stresses were reduced particularly at the boundary with the substrate. The process also reduced distortion, and refined the microstructure which may facilitate implementation on aerospace components.
