Effect of auxiliary wire feeding on cold metal transfer directed energy deposition of stainless steel: A study on droplet transfer, formation characteristics, and microstructure by Yi Feng, Qiming Jiang, Ding Fan

“…While traditional cold metal transfer direct energy deposition (T-CMT-DED) can be sped up by increasing the deposition current; this often negatively affects the deposited part's shape and microstructure due to increased heat input. To address this, we propose a novel approach: auxiliary wire feeding cold metal transfer direct energy deposition (AWF-CMT-DED). …”
