Microstructure and Solute Concentration Analysis of Epitaxial Growth during Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing of Aluminum Alloy

Microstructure and solute distribution have a significant impact on the mechanical properties of wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) deposits. In this study, a multiscale model, consisting of a macroscopic finite element (FE) model and a microscopic phase field (PF) model, was used to predict...
