Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing and its Applications in Aerospace Field

Article Preview

Abstract:

The concept of additive manufacturing is put forward on the basis of the nowadays research hotspot-3D print. This paper focuses on the main branch technology of additive manufacturing, i.e., electron beam melting (EBM) in high energy beam rapid manufacturing area, enumerating the advantages of EBM compared with laser rapid prototyping and introducing its process principle as well as its research status. The application situation of EBM in aerospace especially it’s utility in aircraft engine and industrialization of industrial aspects was also introduced, and its development prospect in the future was forecasted.
