About
Tobias Gehling is a materials scientist and manufacturing engineer whose research focuses on wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), particularly for low-alloy steels. His work centers on two critical challenges in WAAM: precise geometric control and microstructural optimization. Gehling’s most-cited study, “Properties oriented WAAM—microstructural and geometrical control in WAAM of low-alloy steel” (2023, 15 citations), investigates how process parameters influence both the dimensional accuracy and the resulting material properties of additively manufactured components. By systematically linking thermal cycles, deposition strategies, and post-processing to grain structure and mechanical performance, he provides a framework for producing reliable, high-quality steel parts without extensive machining. This contribution is especially valuable for industrial adoption, where repeatability and property predictability are paramount. Gehling’s work bridges fundamental metallurgy with practical manufacturing challenges, offering engineers actionable guidelines for controlling distortion, porosity, and anisotropy in WAAM. His research is increasingly cited by groups working on large-scale additive manufacturing and repair applications, reflecting its relevance to both academic and industrial communities seeking to move WAAM beyond prototyping into production.
