Is arc additive welding?
To answer this question, we need to first understand the definition of welding, and then judge whether the arc additive meets the requirements based on the definition.
Definition of welding: A processing method that achieves atomic bonding between identical or dissimilar workpieces by heating, applying pressure, or both, with or without filling materials.
According to the definition of welding, arc additive can be understood as a processing method that uses an arc as a heat source to heat the material, and uses metal wire as a filling material to achieve atomic bonding between the same or different materials to form a workpiece.
Obviously, arc additive is undoubtedly a welding technique. However, we may as well follow this train of thought further. From a definition perspective, various technological routes for metal additive manufacturing, whether it is the more mature laser powder bed melting additive technology, or the emerging laser energy deposition, arc additive, plasma fuse additive, electron beam fuse additive, etc., all seem to meet the definition of welding. In fact, if we compare common welding methods and additive process technology routes, it is not difficult to find astonishing similarities between the two.
Welding methods can generally be divided into three categories: fusion welding, brazing, and pressure welding. Fusion welding includes electric arc welding, laser welding, electron beam welding, plasma arc welding, etc. Pressure welding includes resistance welding, friction stir welding, cold spray welding, ultrasonic welding, etc.
Our common metal additive technologies include arc additive, laser powder bed melting, laser directed energy deposition, electron beam fusion additive, plasma additive, as well as recently gaining attention to stir friction additive, cold spray additive, and so on.
