Abstract

The additive manufacturing (AM) methods are being used to develop products using metals, ceramics and polymers with techniques such as layer-by-layer construction and filament deposition. Aside from the accuracy of the specific AM techniques, the broadcast elements must be inspected in order to be enforced within the target applications. The properties such as surface roughness, porosity, residual stress, and linkage are mainly used to finalize the components developed using AM. Furthermore, significant mechanical properties such as surface roughness, microstructures, hardness, tensile energy, compressive energy, fatigue, creep, and residual strain must be investigated on printed metal parts. The parameters of the AM strategies are designed to examine their effects on mechanical properties. The relationships between the AM process, parameters, and materials are interconnected to investigate the mechanical properties of AM components. The various AM techniques for printing metal components are properly classified along with their process parameters. Furthermore, various mechanical tests for metal-based components are detailed using ASTM guidelines. Based on the findings of this study, powder bed fusion techniques are recommended for the development of metal-based components due to their favorable factors for achieving better mechanical properties.
