The difficulty of AFAM lies in the additive structure, material clamping, internal stress and experimental difficulty. During the three consecutive years of research and experiment, we made the first FSW convex weld, the first metal surfacing, the first material experiment prototype and more.

Finally we made parts purely from AFAM. We have gone through hardships and difficulties, and in the seemingly nowhere to go, we have proved the direction leading to the success of friction and material addition, and have made a loud response to the key constraints of the industry. The application laid the foundation for AFAM technology research and industry application.

On the mature machining platform, we have completed the integration of advanced materials and typical subtractive manufacturing processing technology. The AFAM additive processing process chain uses mature CAD/CAM technology to provide additive technology for the partner's investment in existing subtractive manufacturing process. The opportunity to add value to existing investment can help global industrialization for the friction additive manufacturing technology.

Prediction

The development of advanced friction additive manufacturing AFAM technology in the next three years will prove:

ATII is going to make outstanding contribution to the field of semi-solid additive manufacturing – AFAM creatively leverages the principle of FSW welding friction heat-machine to process solid metal materials into semi-solid and in non-melting state of metal. The additive manufacturing process is completed while effectively avoids the imperfection and defects caused by metal melting, and has the advantages of clear concept, simple structure, good quality, high efficiency, low energy consumption, low price, environmental friendliness and mature technology; By digging deeper into the use and expansion of FSW-type equipment, the threshold for research and development of solid-state/semi-solid friction additive manufacturing technology has been significantly reduced, and the composite reinforcement and intensive addition of semi-solid additive manufacturing have been solved in a relatively simple way. Complex problems such as digital forging have laid the foundation for AFAM scientific research and industrial application.

AFAM will be conditional and qualified to become one of the mainstream additive manufacturing technologies due to its superior unique advantages and superior performance of additive preparations.
