        abstract = {The Additive manufacturing (AM) technique has disrupted and streamlined the production industry by introducing unique and complex geometrical shapes while allowing less consumption of material. The objective of the present study is to additively manufacture a stainless steel 304 (SS304) grade, an arc welding process that marries the benefits of AM with the high tensile strength and tough mechanical properties of SS304.grade. This study investigated the microstructural, mechanical and tensile properties of fabricated block of stainless steel 304(SS304) prepared by arc welding for Additive Manufacturing (AM). The process parameter optimization methodology is centred on conducting a thorough investigation of current, voltage, travel speed, and heat input parameters as they pertain to the weld process, with the goal being to improve part quality and performance. Optical microscopic microstructure observation of the dendritic formations and potential defects such as porosity and cracks. Mechanical testing, including tensile and hardness tests, are also conducted to determine the strength and ductility of the welded specimens.},
