About
Dr. Martin Leitner is a leading researcher in the field of additive manufacturing, with a specific focus on wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and the thermomechanical behavior of metallic components. His work centers on understanding and predicting deformation and residual stress in large-scale metal parts, a critical challenge for industrial adoption. Dr. Leitner’s major contributions include the experimental validation of numerical simulations for deformation induced by WAAM, using feedstock SS316L on substrate S235, a study that has garnered 30 citations. He has also advanced the field through numerical modeling of angular strain in bead-on-plate GMAW processes, employing both inherent strain and thermomechanical methods, which has been cited 21 times. These studies provide essential frameworks for improving process control and part quality in additive manufacturing. Dr. Leitner’s research is notable for its rigorous integration of simulation and experiment, offering practical insights for engineers and researchers seeking to mitigate distortion in welded and additively manufactured structures. His work is widely referenced in the materials science and mechanical engineering communities, underscoring its impact on the development of reliable, large-scale metal additive manufacturing technologies.
