Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Wire Arc Additively Manufactured Bimetallic Structure of Austenitic Stainless Steel and Low Carbon Steel
Source abstract
Abstract
Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a promising technology that is extensively applied to manufacture bimetallic structures. In this paper, an austenitic stainless steel (ASS) and low carbon steel (LCS) bimetallic structure based on a single pass multi-layer model was deposited through WAAM by utilizing a cold metal transfer welding process. Furthermore, the bimetallic structure was subjected to several analyses to study its microstructure and mechanical properties. The finding shows the Ferrite-Austenite model in the ASS part. The microstructure of ASS revealed vermicular δ-ferrite, while LCS revealed an acicular and polygonal ferrite morphology. A sharp increase in the microhardness was observed at the interface of the bimetallic structure. The tensile strength and % elongation of the bimetallic structure reached 493 MPa and 22%, respectively, while the fracture occurred at the LCS side, indicating strong mechanical bonding and toughness at the interface of the bimetallic structure.
