The joints were fabricated using a single-component structural adhesive applied manually in the pre-lap zone. The joints were then cured by the heat generated from FSW. Macrostructure, defect generation and tensile shear performances of the joints obtained using three different rotation speeds and different adhesive thickness were studied. The adhesive prevented direct plate contact, but the FSW-AB joint showed more flash. Adhesive expansion occurred on the advancing side due to structural asymmetry and uneven heat dissipation. Compared to conventional FSW, the joints produced by FSW-AB exhibited significantly reduced hook defects in the pin-affected zone, a smoother distribution of hardness across the weld cross-section, and notably elevated hardness on the retreating side of the base metal outside the shoulder. It is attributed to the difference in the degree of crystallization between the two caused by the difference in heat dissipation rate.

By incorporating a photoetched inkwell and a mechanical shutter system with a high-pressure air-blowing device, a direct and precise at-line DR measurement during the printing process is established.

In contrast, experienced human welders can control the weld bead shapes during the deposition process by flexibly adjusting deposition parameters, thus realizing the fabrication of components with more complex geometries. This study aims to bridge this gap by distilling human skills and applying them to WA-DED system for the fabrication of metal parts with complex geometry. To learn the skills of experienced human welders, a skilled welder was asked to execute a series of predefined welding tasks, and a virtual reality (VR) based human motion capture system was developed to capture data on the real-time torch pose and welding parameters.
