摘要

This study investigates the fabrication of IN625 thin walls using CMT- and GTAW-based WAAM, focusing on the microstructural and mechanical properties. Microstructural analysis revealed the widespread presence of Laves phase and carbide precipitates in the GTAW manufactured wall, leading to a significant reduction in its mechanical performance. In contrast, the CMT-processed wall exhibited localized Laves phase formation, primarily confined to specific regions, resulting in superior tensile properties. The lower heat input inherent to the CMT process, driven by wire retraction and short-circuiting, effectively minimized Laves phase formation and promoted a finer microstructure. These findings underscore the advantages of CMT-WAAM over GTAW-WAAM, demonstrating its potential for producing components with improved structural integrity, making it a more favorable technique compared to GTAW for critical applications in aerospace and energy sectors.
