Abstract: Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) integrated wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) depicts non-uniform layers, spatter, thermal distortions, metal overflow, and mechanical anisotropy. The prime cause for these issues is improper thermal energy management due to the current controlled wire feeding mechanism. Here, an autonomous wire feed system (AWFS) has been designed and integrated into the GMAW-WAAM to eliminate such issues. It fine-tunes the wire feed speed (WFS) and maintains a steady flow of arc current. With this developed system, initially, twenty single beads are deposited using ER70S-6 feedstock under different conditions of welding voltage (U), travel speed (TS), and WFS. Later on, an optimum deposit condition has been formulated using response surface methodology-RSM (U≈21.7 V, TS≈8.6%, and WFS≈2.7 m/min). Under this deposit condition, thin-layered parts are manufactured, where inter-layer dwell time (IDT) is only varied (from 2 to 4 min) to illustrate its significance over metallographic and mechanical performances. It is observed that with increasing IDTs, the morphological attributes of the deposit are improved (straight side wall with low surface waviness) with a reduction in grain size that further boosts the hardness and mechanical performances (increased strength and wear resistance). The occurrence of compressive residual stress could additionally support the enhancements in mechanical strength. In addition to the improvements in mechanical performances, the anisotropy in mechanical strength is also reduced (<5%). Moreover, bulk texture analysis ensures similar fiber texture evolutions along different deposit sections with a least variation in the texture intensity, which point towards isotropicity in the as-fabricated part.
