摘要

This study investigates the influence of welding parameters, such as welding current, torch speed, and wire feed speed on the bead geometry, microstructure and mechanical properties of the WAAM-made Inconel 825. A detailed analysis, including hardness, toughness, tensile strength, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), was performed. The fabricated wall exhibited defect-free deposition with a primarily γ-phase (austenitic) matrix and equiaxed grains. Optimal parameters in pulse mode (98 A peak current, 79 A base current, 120 mm/min torch speed, and 540 mm/min wire feed speed) provide a hardness of 242 ± 6 HV, toughness of 129 ± 5 J, yield stress of 312 ± 5 Mpa, ultimate tensile stress of 598 ± 9 Mpa, and % elongation of 66 ± 3% throughout the wall, with a ductile fracture. The findings demonstrate almost isotropic mechanical behaviour, contributing to improved process control in WAAM of Inconel 825. WAAM-fabricated Inconel 825 exhibited ~ 42% higher hardness than the wrought Inconel.
