About
Siddharth Kumar is an emerging researcher specializing in advanced manufacturing, particularly wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and materials science. His work focuses on the fabrication and characterization of high-performance metallic alloys, including austenitic stainless steels, Inconel 625, and superduplex stainless steels — materials critical to industries such as aerospace, marine, and chemical processing. Kumar's most notable contribution investigates Cold Metal Transfer (CMT)-based WAAM, a cutting-edge technique that enables the layer-by-layer deposition of multi-material metallic walls with exceptional precision. His 2024 study provides a comprehensive evaluation of microstructural evolution, corrosion resistance, and impact toughness in multi-material deposited structures, offering valuable insights into how process parameters influence the mechanical and chemical integrity of additively manufactured components. This work addresses a crucial challenge in the field — understanding interfacial behavior between dissimilar alloys — and contributes meaningfully to advancing the reliability of WAAM for industrial applications. Though early in citation accumulation with 2 citations, his research addresses timely and technically demanding questions, positioning Kumar as a promising contributor to the rapidly growing additive manufacturing research community.
