In this study, the fabrication conditions of WC cemented carbides by direct selective laser melting were investigated. The effects of additives, such as Co, Cu-20%Sn and Cu powders, and laser scanning conditions on laser sintering process were examined to fabricate a sound laser-scanned body of WC cemented carbides. The optimum laser power, scan speed and scan pitch were found out by experiments. It was found that the continuously smooth single-scan track can be obtained at a lower laser power and a higher scan speed by the addition of 30% Cu powder. The smooth surface of the laser-scanned body could be fabricated at a laser power of 9 W, a scan speed of 20 mm/s and a scan pitch of 0.05 mm.

The article discusses the course and results of experimental work on the initial study of the possibility of using one of the varieties of additive technologies – the method of layer-by-layer selective laser melting (SLM) in the manufacture of elements of heat exchangers and hydraulic circuits of spacecraft. Traditional manufacturing techniques for hydro-control elements and spacecraft heat exchangers are based on machining and high-temperature vacuum soldering, leading to a long cycle and high manufacturing costs. As an alternative, the method of layer-by-layer selective laser melting can be considered as a manufacturing method using a three-dimensional model of the product and not requiring additional equipment. This method is based on sequential layer-by-layer fusion of a metal powder with previous fused product layers under the action of a laser beam forming a local region of liquid melt. The article describes experimental work to assess the possibility of using the selective laser melting method. Assessed weld-ability of a sample made by selective laser fusion technology with tips made by traditional technology. Directions for testing the method of selective laser sintering on real structures of heat exchanging units of spacecraft have been determined. A technique is proposed and the results of a study of a sample synthesized by selective laser sintering are presented. Based on the results obtained, an analysis is made of the prospects for using this method in the production of elements of hydraulic circuits and heat exchange units of spacecraft.

Preliminary experiments were carried out for the fabrication of dental root implants using an improved technique of laser processing of Ti powders. The properties of produced samples were characterized for various processing parameters. Samples with rod and cone shapes were formed. A combined selective laser sintering (SLS) and selective laser melting (SLM) process was utilized. With this combination, the samples possessed a structure composed of two different zones, namely a remelted compact core and a sintered porous shell. The results of these experiments show that it is possible to produce dental root implants possessing the required geometry, structure and strength by appropriate laser processing of Ti powder.
