Abstract
A method for joining an additively-manufactured component includes welding a plurality of additively-manufactured components via a weld joint to fabricate an integral structure. The additively-manufactured components are built by repeatedly depositing a weld bead layer of a next layer on a weld bead layer formed of a weld bead obtained by melting and solidifying a filler metal by use of an arc, and the weld joint is built along with the deposition.
