Solid-state Metal Additive Manufacturing Process: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Solid-state AM (SSAM) method is one of the fastest-growing AM technologies. The material in a Solid-state AM technique does not melt. However, additional processes such as friction, pressure, and velocity are used to create the parts. This approach can create microstructures with better mechanical characteristics than typically treated parent alloys, avoiding the strength-ductility tradeoff in a range of applications. The Solid-state AM technique has the potential to grow in the aerospace, automotive, and defense industries. This bibliographic study examines solid-state AM research from 2007 to 2021. A software tool analyses Solid-state AM research publications (i.e., 82 documents from Scopus Core Collection). The bibliometric study of the stated research topic utilizes article time distribution, geography, top-cited documents, journal and researcher citation mapping, author keyword analysis, country-wise publications, and cluster analysis. This study presents researchers with a complete overview of the past decade’s study findings and key advances. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Pawan Sharma and Vishvesh J.
