Ensuring the strength, reliability and safety of structures requires studying issues ine-lastic deformation zones occurrence development which result from equilibrium accumula-tion damages. Material postcritical characterized by a decrease in stress level during growing deformations is one damages accumulation effects. Application theory basic provisions to carry out refined strength analysis w...

• Microstructural features of a thick-walled WAAM stainless steel part are investigated. Microstructure exhibits periodically repeating characteristics across the part. Oriented and textured structure with large grains at overlapping region adjacent fusion zones. Significant spatial variations in terms zone shape, grain structure, texture, phases. Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is class...
