OTHER MATERIALS

Most materials supplied as a wire for arc welding are also compatible with WAAM. Next to aluminum, steels and bronze alloys, also copper-based alloys, invar, Inconel and titanium are suitable for WAAM if the system’s atmosphere allows for it.  This gives WAAM access to one of the broadest ranges of materials for metal AM on the market. Moreover, compared to other stocks, weldable wires are generally more affordable, accessible, and available worldwide.
