Effects of On-Line Vortex Cooling on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Wire Arc Additively Manufactured Al-Mg Alloy

A novel on-line vortex cooling powered by low-cost compressed air was proposed to reduce common defects such as low forming precision, coarse grains, and pores caused by heat accumulation in the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) of aluminum alloy. The impacts of interlayer cooling (IC), substra...
