This study investigates the impact of varying dwell time and input deposition power on wire arc additive manufacturing, concluding that lower input power and dwell time can significantly reduce production time.
The present work seeks to understand the impact of varying dwell time and input deposition power on part quality and overall production time for wire arc additive manufacturing. In this work, multi-layer wall geometries were deposited under different input power conditions without affecting the material deposition rate by setting traverse speed and wire feed speed constant and varying the contact tip-to-workpiece distance and the deposition power settings. Current and voltage data and optical imaging of the deposition zone were captured in situ, and wall geometry was characterized using laser scanning, so to understand the applicability of these methods for determining part height in situ. The present results demonstrate that alternating dwell times with lower input deposition power can result in significantly reduced overall production time and minimal material underbuilding, despite increased deposition geometry width. Furthermore, it is shown that while elimination of process dwell results in severe underbuilding of the deposition, it also yields the highest production rate for a hybrid-finished (e.g., deposited, machined) wall in terms of mm in build direction per minute and the highest buy-to-fly ratio.
