A new hybrid arc deposition- micro rolling additive manufacturing method was used to directly fabricate high strength 45 steel parts which has different thickness and low formability. In order to research the different process characters between free deposition and weld-rolling, the microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties of 45 steel specimens were tested. The results show that the weld-rolling technology can enhance the grain size level from 5.5 to 12.0, and the tensile strength, yield strength and hardness increase by 31.3% 、68.8% 、10.9%, respectively. Moreover, compared with investment casting, the tensile strength and yield strength increases by 58.4% 、107.7%, respectively. Therefore, weld-rolling hybrid additive manufacture process would provide a low cost, high quality and effective way to directly fabricate high toughness complex components.
