  • Abstract:
  • Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is an advanced process uses an electric arc and wire feedstock to build components layer by layer deposition by 3D printing technique. This review focuses on WAAM studies involving AISI 321 stainless steel, a titanium stabilized alloy known for its corrosion and heat resistance. Several experiments have been carried out on key process parameters like current, wire feed rate, travel speed, heat input, microstructure and defect formation in WAAM process. The parameters promote dense, uniform deposits with stable austenitic microstructures. Overall, literature findings indicate that WAAM offers strong potential for producing reliable AISI 321 components for aerospace and industrial applications.
