Abstract
The deposition parameters of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) significantly affect the deposition quality. In this paper, the effects of deposition current and travel speed on the quality of the single track deposition bead of Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr (NZ30K) alloy were studied. The results show that the relevant deposition parameters significantly influence the macroscopic morphology, geometric characteristics, and metallurgical bonding. Improper parameters could lead to various types of macroscopic or microscopic defects. The findings of this research can serve as a foundation for producing high-quality WAAM magnesium alloy components.
