The goal of this experimental study is to examine the tensile characteristics of Inconel 625, a superalloy based on nickel that is created by the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) method. The study's main points are succinctly summarized in the abstract. The material known for its great strength and resistance to corrosion, Inconel 625, is the subject of this study, which explores its mechanical behaviour. To understand the material's reaction under tensile loading, specimens are fabricated using the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing technique. Arc welding is used in the fabrication process to deposit Inconel 625 wire layer by layer, enabling complex and personalized designs. To assess important characteristics including ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation, the specimens are put through a battery of tensile tests. According to the results, Inconel 625 fabricated with WAAM shows promising tensile qualities that are on par with those of its conventionally manufactured counterparts. An examination of the specimens' microstructure reveals how the WAAM process affects the material structure by correlating it with the mechanical behaviour that has been observed. Additionally, the study investigates how several process variables, such heat treatment and welding conditions, affect the tensile qualities. The goal of this investigation is to improve the mechanical performance of Inconel 625 components by optimizing the WAAM process. The results provide important new information to the field of additive manufacturing, particularly regarding the aerospace industry and other sectors that heavily rely on Inconel 625.The capacity to customize tensile properties using the WAAM process has important ramifications for producing intricate parts with better mechanical qualities. To sum up, this experimental study offers a thorough examination of the tensile characteristics of Inconel 625 made using the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing method. The outcomes confirm not only that WAAM is a viable method for creating high-strength components but also serve as a foundation for additional optimization and application in sectors requiring durable and specialized materials.
