Additive manufacturing builds objects by stacking them layer by layer, and the combination with welding provides great flexibility in the creation of complex metallic components. However, the extreme thermal coupling process of welding/additive manufacturing leads to complex residual stress distribution. High tensile residual stresses are detrimental to the mechanical properties of components, especially fatigue life.
The purpose of the Research Topic is to bring together state-of-the-art research results, including but not limited to research on residual stress measurement and analysis in welding or additive manufacturing, and to help researchers around the world to better keep track of the latest research advances, which will further advance the development of welding and additive manufacturing, and contribute to the component high-performance manufacturing.
We welcome manuscripts, reviews, and mini-reviews on exploring Topics of interest including, but not limited to the following:
1. Residual stress characteristics of the joined and additive manufactured parts
2. Residual stress-performance relationship of the joined and additive manufactured parts
3. Functionality of the joined and additive manufactured parts
4. Relationship between microstructure, residual stress, and performance
5. Relationship between micro- and macro-mechanical properties
6. The fundamentals of performance improvement
Keywords:
Welding, Additive manufacturing, Mechanical performance, Microstructure, Modeling, Functional performance, Relationship, Residual stress, Measurement methods
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
