New paper on CMT-WAAM bimetallic structures

Our paper, Microstructural and Mechanical Characterization of a CMT-WAAM Fabricated 17-4PH Stainless Steel/Inconel 625 Bimetallic Structure, is now published in the Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing.

The study builds a 17-4PH stainless steel / Inconel 625 bimetallic structure with cold metal transfer (CMT) wire arc additive manufacturing and looks at its microstructure, mechanical performance and the integrity of the interface between the two metals. The results help in making dissimilar-metal parts for large engineering applications.
