Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD) is an emerging metal 3D printing process. Distinctively a metal component is built up in layers in ASFD where deposition occurs in the solid-state, producing fine recrystallized microstructures resembling wrought materials. This project will unlock the effect of complex process thermal history on the microstructure and properties of AFSD processed aluminium alloys. A range of advanced aerospace alloys will be the focus and the effects of input microstructure, thermal history and post-AFSD heat treatment will be studied. Finally, unique alloys will be designed, tuned to the thermal cycles of AFSD to produce peak aged properties in the as-deposited condition.
