Özet

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a manufacturing process where parts are created by successive layered

building from a three-dimensional (3D) solid model. The AM is capable of producing parts tailored to

industrial needs. Compared to traditional production, the AM method has design freedom according to the

part function. This chapter provides an overview of the applications of lightweight metals and their

combinations in the AM. The content presents an overview of the applications of light metals and their

composites in AM. It reports the state-of-the-art in powder bed-based technologies and wire-arc weldingbased

technologies. Input material properties, as well as the processing parameters for AM processes of

light metals and composites, are explained. This chapter also describes the main parameters influencing

AM part quality for obtaining parts with high mechanical strength, and dimensional stability. It also

provides information on the topology optimization (TO) approach to optimum material distribution in the

AM part design. The post-processing methods are explained to eliminate the deteriorating effects and to

gain different properties. General information on the mechanical properties and fatigue behavior of AM

parts made of light metals and composites is presented.
