About
Jiangtao Xiong is a leading researcher in wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), specializing in the optimization and mechanical characterization of metal components built through robot-assisted gas metal arc welding (GMAW). His work directly addresses a critical challenge in additive manufacturing: achieving uniform deposition geometry and reliable mechanical properties in large-scale steel structures. Xiong’s most cited study (36 citations) systematically optimizes process parameters to improve the effective deposition area in GMAW-based additive manufacturing, using AWS ER70S-6 low alloy steel to enhance build consistency and structural integrity. His subsequent work (24 citations) provides a rigorous analysis of ductile fracture behavior via Charpy impact testing, demonstrating how layer orientation affects toughness in robot-fabricated thin-wall structures. By bridging welding science with additive manufacturing, Xiong has advanced the practical viability of WAAM for industrial applications, offering key insights into process control and material performance. His research is essential reading for engineers and researchers working on metal additive manufacturing, robotic welding, and the mechanical reliability of additively produced steel components.
