• TITLE: ELECTRON BEAM ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF LIGHT METALS
• AUTHOR(S): Stefan Valkov, Peter Petrov
• ABSTRACT: This article aims to summarize the topics related to the application of a surface manufacturing of light metals by means of electron beam additive technologies for developing of new multifunctional materials, as well as to modify their surface properties. These techniques have a large number of applications in the field of automotive and aircraft industries for manufacturing of railways, space crafts, different tools, and components. Some examples of the use of electron beams for surface manufacturing and modification of structure and properties of Ti and Al based materials are presented.
