MATERIALS
Metal additive manufacturing is
changing the way parts are
created.
Material
and process
development
for additive
manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) has received
considerable attention over the past decade. For
commercial aerospace, the business case typically
involves reducing a part's weight and/or decreasing
the total number of parts required for an assembly.
The technology, however, is not without challenges.
The regulatory authorities, such as the US Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), require materials to
be fully substantiated. This quality control also applies
to the production environment. This is particularly

true for additive manufacturing,
which, along with composites, is
very process sensitive.
Ultimately, the key process
variable (KPVs) need to be
identified and " adequately "
controlled. Standards can
provide important guidelines.
In 2015, SAE AMS (Aerospace
Materials Specifications) formed
a committee to address the lack
of material and process (M&P)
specifications needed for
aerospace materials. The group
now has nearly 600 members
from over 200 organizations.
The AMS AM committee has
released 26 specifications, with
