Cost-Effective Manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V Filler Wire from As-Cast Ingot via Processing Map-Guided Design for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing

Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a cost-efficient technology for large-scale production; however, the high cost of Ti-6Al-4V filler wire, primarily associated with conventional billet-based thermomechanical processing, remains a critical limitation. This study proposes a direct and cost-effective manufactu...
