Improvement of Cooling Effect and Dimensional Accuracy of Wire and Arc Additive Manufactured Magnesium Alloy by Active-Cooling-Based Contacting Copper Blocks

Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) employing a magnesium (Mg) alloy is superior in terms of safety, energy efficiency, and deposition rate when compared with a process that utilizes lasers and powder materials. However, problems with WAAM employing an Mg alloy include poor dimensional accura...
