This book addresses the fundamental technologies and advancements in gas metal
arc welding (GMAW) in metal joining and additive manufacturing. It delivers in-
depth knowledge on various aspects of GMAW processes, including principles and
mechanisms, metal transfer modes, process variations, monitoring and control, auto-
mation and flexibility of power sources, joining of similar and dissimilar materials,
additive manufacturing, and metallurgical aspects. The book concludes with chal-
lenges and opportunities that would lead toward future directions in the GMAW
process.
• Provides an overview of the additive manufacturing process and its capabil-
ity to produce additively manufactured metallic components.
• Describes the power source and its connectivity with robots to produce
complex structures.
• Discusses fundamental principles of the gas metal arc welding process.
• Explores experimental and theoretical aspects of the processes.
• Includes the most recent applications and real-time case studies along with
relevant illustrations.
This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in metallurgical engineer-
ing, additive manufacturing, and welding technology.
