Friction surfacing deposition additive manufacturing (FSDAM) is a newly developed solid-state AM method based on friction surfacing. During FSDAM, a rotating rod, which served as feedstock, was pressed against a substrate at a pre-defined axial speed or forging force (Fig. 1) [11].The rotary friction between the feedstock and the substrate locally softened the
