Description
Additive friction surfacing (AFS) is a variant of friction surfacing (FS) where multiple layers of feedstock material can be deposited to generate a near-net shape part. AFS has the potential to yield significantly higher deposition rates than traditional additive manufacturing processes with wrought mechanical properties. Most commonly, AFS has been performed with the feedstock material oriented perpendicular to the workpiece. Similar to friction stir welding, there is an opportunity with AFS to align the feedstock material in orientations off-normal to the workpiece or preceding deposited layer. In addition, little is understood about the effect of the size of the feedstock. To understand the effects of these input variables, a study was initiated with variations in the feedstock orientation and diameter of 316L stainless steel and HY-80 steel. Process trials were performed with multiple orientations of the feedstock with respect to the workpiece.
