Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing for High-speed Flight

To understand the performance of WAAM superalloys for high-speed flight applications. Such as the impact of different deposition processes on the thermal cycle and thereby the microstructure and metallurgical phases formed. In particular the effect of mechanical working on microstructure and performance.
