Summary:The outstanding performance of producing complex three dimensional moulded components, which could be difficult or impossible to accomplish through traditional production processes. Additive processing in recent years has revolutionised the processing paradigm. Due to the high deposition speeds, which are substantially higher than powdered techniques, the wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is distinct among various additive manufacturing techniques that are suitable for producing large metal components. WAAM's efficiency is growing rapidly, and thus substantial study is ongoing. This research work will include an overview of the greatest advances in WAAM, outlining the innovations and variants in processes to monitor the microstructure, mechanical properties and defect production in the as-built components along with the most important technological materials used, and the variants of WAAM.
