Batch Manufacturing In Aerospace

Core Benefits with EBM- Electron Beam Melting
Hot Process - No residual stress,No heat treatment
Excellent Material Properties - Controlled microstructure, Better than cast, Compliant with applicable standards
Cost-Efficient Production - High productivity, Material recycling, Competitive powder cost
Benefits With EBM
High power (3000W) - Allows for high melting capacity,High productivity
No moving parts in the EB-gun - Extremly fast beam speed 8000m/s, Enables EBM Mulitibeam
Vacuum Process - Clean and controlled environment,Allows processing reactivs materials
Hot process (650C for Titanium) - No residual stress,No heat treatment,Faster melting
Benefits In Aerospace
The Aerospace industry's fundamental characteristics are-Extreme requirements on product performance, Geometric design complexity, Extensive use of Ti alloys, Use of exotic materials, Small/Medium production series
EBM® is the ultimate Additive Manufacturing solution for the aerospace industry with its- Design freedom, Excellent material properties, High productivity
Freedom in Design- Optimize geometry for weight savings,Optimize geometry for improved function,Brackets (weight), Brackets (function), Filters (function)
Materials Savings- Buy-To-Fly ratios of 15-20 are common in Aerospace, 95% of the material is machined away as scrap, For EBM®, Buy-To-Fly ratio is close to 1
Materials Flexibility- Many alloys with unique characteristics are difficult to cast and forge. EBM® has demonstrated that it can be used to process such alloys
EBM in the Aerospace industry
Rolls produced the ring of vanes for the first flying A350 engine
GE use TiAl components for tests in the GE9X engine, estimated production 2018
Pratt & Whitney manufacture components for the GTF, currently in production
However, it is still early days and there are endless opportunities to address
