Experimental and numerical study of the influence of induction heating process on build rates Induction Heating-assisted laser Direct Metal Deposition (IH-DMD)

摘要

Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) technology proves advantageous in complex and precise component fabrications. Nevertheless, the typical productivity rate of the DMD process is not sufficient for fabricating large components. In this paper, the induction heating (IH) technique is presented to address this issue by assisting the DMD process by increasing the build-up rate.
