Abstract

Gathering data from previous research and incorporating it into a scientometrics investigation can provide valuable insights into a particular area of study. Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is currently popular for producing customized metal products quickly. Despite this, there have been lack of studies on implementing stress relief heat treatment after the manufacturing process to reduce residual stress in the resulting parts potentially. This paper represents the first bibliometric analysis study focusing on the application of stress-relief heat treatment as a post-processing method for wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). Given the exploratory nature of this research, it is expected that future investigations will continue to delve into these areas, ultimately contributing to a better understanding of the effects of stress-relief heat treatment on the additively manufactured materials.
