Technical Problems and Perspectives of Implementing the Selective Laser Melting Method for Producing Structural Components for Aircraft

Abstract

The article touches upon the technical problems and perspectives of implementing the Selective Laser Melting method for producing structural components for aircraft. The possibilities of additive manufacturing technology processes and their advantages in comparison with traditional methods of part formation are shown. Issues of standardization in the field of additive manufacturing, as well as terms and definitions adopted at the present time, are considered. Based on the analysis of literary sources, the necessity of developing selective laser melting methods for the specific steels and alloys used in aircraft production is shown.
