Potential and challenges for large-scale near-net-shaping of 7xxx aerospace grade aluminum via additive friction stir deposition

This letter examines the potential and challenges of using additive friction stir deposition for large-scale near-net-shaping of 7xxx Al alloys, particularly AA7075 and AA7050. Compared to fusion-based additive manufacturing, which is unable to print these alloys without feedstock modification or co...
