Development of a New Cold Metal Transfer Arc Additive Die Manufacturing Process by An Zhang, Yanfeng Xing, Fuyong Yang, Xiaobing Zhang, Hongze Wang, Tiejun Yu

“…Due to its high efficiency, cold metal transfer (CMT) arc additive manufacturing presents considerable potential in the aluminium alloy additive manufacturing industry. However, during CMT arc additive manufacturing, the surrounding air environment promotes the lateral flow of liquid aluminium and the instability of the molten pool, reduces the surface quality and material utilisation of deposition walls, and causes internal hydrogen pores and coarse columnar grains, which negatively affect the structure and mechanical properties of the deposition walls. …”
