Abstract: Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) attained more attention from professionals because of their advancements in producing huge components with medium geometric complications by Additive Manufacturing (AM). On account of all the factors mentioned above, this survey work explores the literature review of WAAM with past and present approaches of the last 10 years' publications. Initially, the introduction and basic process are discussed regarding WAAM. It is then followed by the literature survey of the WAAM model using distinct methodologies. Further, the chronological analyses are given to analyse the year of publication of WAAM. Subsequently, algorithm deployments for WAAM are given elaborately. The execution platforms, merits and demerits of the survey paper are also included. Then, the research gaps and challenges of former implemented methods are addressed, which is helpful for future improvement.

Keywords: wire arc additive manufacturing; additive manufacturing; deep learning; gas metal arc welding; plasma arc welding; gas tungsten arc welding.
