Project Details
Description
The goal of the proposed CRC research program is to realize the full potential of the state-of-the-art wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technology to fabricate large-scale components from stainless steel and corrosion-resistant alloys with tailored properties at drastically reduced production time and cost for marine and offshore applications. Through ground-breaking research and commercialization, the objectives of this program are to:
• develop a versatile robotic WAAM-platform capable of manufacturing large-scale engineering components with controlled microstructure and mechanical properties,
• understand the corrosion performance of the fabricated parts in harsh marine environments, and
• advance WAAM technology for hybrid manufacturing and additive repairs.
