About

Gerhard Posch is a leading figure in the field of additive manufacturing and welding metallurgy, with a particular focus on the processing and material properties of advanced stainless steels. His most influential work centers on the characterization of duplex stainless steel components produced via Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) additive manufacturing, a study that has garnered 131 citations and established foundational knowledge for the industry. In this research, Posch systematically investigated the microstructural evolution and mechanical performance of blade-like geometries, demonstrating how CMT technology can achieve high-quality, complex parts with superior corrosion resistance and strength. Beyond additive manufacturing, he has contributed to the development of hot crack-resistant metal-cored wires, addressing critical challenges in fusion welding. His work bridges the gap between process innovation and real-world application, providing engineers and researchers with practical guidelines for producing reliable, high-performance metallic components. Through his rigorous metallurgical approach, Posch has become a key reference for those exploring the intersection of welding science, additive layer manufacturing, and stainless steel engineering.
