Abstract
Additive manufacturing technologies are of high priority in application to high entropy alloys (HEA), which are combined unique set of properties. This paper examines the advantages of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) over conventional techniques such as vacuum melting and plasma arc melting. WAAM is highlighted as a superior method due to its ability to fabricate large-scale components with precise chemical compositions, overcoming the challenges of element evaporation seen in vacuum melting and the scalability issues associated with plasma arc melting. This report underscores WAAM’s potential to improve material manufacturing, and broaden the understanding of WAAM’s technological benefits.
