| dc.description.abstract | This project explores recent advancements in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and its pivotal role in shaping the manufacturing industry, specifically in the production of intricate geometric forms, such as cylindrical parts. The integration of multiple axes, up to 6 axes, in 3D welding has proven to be instrumental in achieving the complexity required for diverse applications. Nevertheless, challenges have emerged in the deposition of layers along the z-axis for constructing cylindrical parts, resulting in a decrease in height due to molten metal flow and subsequent structural defects. In order to address this issue, the study introduces an innovative welding technique that employs helical-shaped depositions along the x-axis, facilitated by a rotational axis module. This approach aims to enhance the fabrication of cylindrical parts by preventing the issues associated with traditional layer-by-layer deposition. The study includes precise calculations to combine the existing welding machine and jig, assuring synchronization between the two components. Furthermore, the project explores the utilization of G-code programming to optimize welding parameters. G-code modifications are employed to determine the best parameters for fabrication of cylindrical part. The feasibility of the suggested technique is evaluated using the produced cylindrical parts in terms of shape and features, highlighting its constraints and potential future applications to considerably enhance the fabrication of cylindrical parts in the manufacturing industry. | |
