description Resource-efficient manufacturing with a high degree of freedom in terms of component shape can be realised through additive manufacturing. The focus can lie not only on the manufacturing process in terms of geometrical correctness, stability, etc., but also on the targeted development of specific material properties. This study shows the development of hybrid material systems made of aluminium and the ferromagnetic particles iron, cobalt, and nickel. The aim is to use the ferromagnetic properties as sensor properties to enable the easy sensing of material properties such as the microstructure, fatigue, or occurring stresses. To easily adopt different compositions, hot isostatic pressing was selected for the characterisation of the material composites Al-Fe, Al-Ni, and Al-Co with regard to their magnetic properties. Subsequently, transfer to the additive manufacturing process of wire and arc additive manufacturing gas metal arc welding was carried out by mixing the powder separately into the weld pool. The study shows that it is possible to prevent a complete transformation of Ni and Co into intermetallic phases with Al by adjusting the influencing variables in the HIP process. Magnetic properties could be detected in the composites of Al-Co and Al-Fe. This work serves as a preliminary work to realise additive components made of hybrid material systems of Al-Fe, Al-Co, and Al-Ni with the GMA welding process.
