Application Status of Laser Selective Melting Forming Technology in the Aerospace Field
SLM also known as laser selective melting forming,is one of the many additive manufacturing(AM)methods.Metal powder is used as the raw material,and the scanning path of the data model is planned through computer software to control the high energy density laser to quickly sinter and shape the required parts in a protective atmosphere.The net formed parts produced by this method not only meet existing requirements in terms of functionality,but also integrate shaping,lightweight Topology optimization and complex flow channels also have advantages,which can bring more design inspiration and rapid prototype verification to R&D.It has become an important application and research direction in the aerospace field.This article mainly introduces the commonly used material systems of SLM in the aerospace field,focusing on the typical applications of SLM technology in the aerospace field,and exploring the problems and future research directions of SLM technology.
