Abstract: Most of the commercially available additive manufacturing processes that are meant for fabrication of fully dense metallic parts involve melting and solidification. Consequently, these processes suffer from a variety of metallurgical problems. Processes that can facilitate material addition in solid-state are therefore ideally suited for additive manufacturing. In this work, we explore two new solid-state processes, viz. friction welding and friction deposition, for additive manufacturing. Stainless steel samples produced using these processes showed excellent layer bonding and Z-direction tensile properties. The authors believe that these processes are uniquely capable and can offer significant benefits over existing commercial additive manufacturing processes.
