摘要

This study demonstrates the feasibility of fabricating high-performance dissimilar metal structures (DMS) using wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) with SS304 and Inconel 601 filler wires. The fabricated DMS exhibited a refined microstructure with a combination of equiaxed and columnar dendrites, resulting in enhanced tensile strength (554.9 MPa) and ductility (33.8 %), outperforming both individual SS304 and Inconel 601 counterparts. The simulated tensile results from finite element analysis closely matched the experimental data with less than 1 % error. Electron backscatter diffraction revealed a high fraction of low-angle grain boundaries contributing to improved mechanical performance. These findings establish the potential of WAAM for fabricating robust, corrosion-resistant DMS suitable for aerospace and energy application. This work is among the preliminary studies to experimentally and numerically validate the mechanical behavior of WAAM-fabricated SS304/Inconel 601 dissimilar structures with less than 1% simulation error with microstructural correlation.
