Additive manufacturing technologies of tool electrodes

The experience of using additive technology in relation tocombined methods of tool manufacturing with the impact of electromagnetic and other types of fields on the process., where there are completely or partially no traditional mechanical effects on the tool part, which must have high mechanical strength, wear resistance. It is shown that the field of use of additive technologies is much wider than it was previously accepted., and mainly covers modern flexible-structured production of such branches of mechanical engineering, where there is a constant updating of products and the technological process is based on the production of limited batches of high-tech products, as a rule, according to preliminary orders of the consumer. It is proved that the scientific foundations of the multilayer formation of parts created to date are legitimate for coating, controlled layer-by-layer changes in the performance characteristics of materials, the creation of means of cooling the hot zone of aircraft engines in aerospace engineering, where multilayer templates with specified performance characteristics can be used as a data carrier. A new (according to the authors’ patent) direction of manufacturing unprofiled electrode tools with giving them useful properties of a profile tool is considered. The ways of solving the problem of controlling the operational characteristics of products by creating parts from conjugate layers, the properties of which are formed by optimizing technological modes, are proposed. The ways of effective finishing of combined methods of surface layers of coatings with preservation of useful performance qualities of parts obtained using additive technologies are studied.
