Additive Manufacturing with Welding: Pressure Vessel Qualification
Electric arc metal 3D printing is poised to radically change the production of metal components.
The "Near Net Shape" additive manufacturing process using welding wire shapes three-dimensional objects by applying weld seams layer by layer. Examples can be found in fields such as plant construction, aeronautics, toolmaking, and lightweight structures. This technology is particularly advantageous for complex geometries with a high degree of machining. In this case, the process is more flexible and often more cost-effective than machining or forming processes.
It also offers advantages for replacement parts, prototyping, and small-series production. Standards for 3D printing with metal are already in place in the US, and in Europe, standards are being developed for additively manufactured flameless pressure vessels. Linde Engineering, MIGAL.CO, TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH, and Fronius are working closely together to give this arc-welding-based production variant a final push.
