This work considers the possibilities of using static analysis and scanning electron microscopy techniques to determine the properties of disperse materials, i.e. corrosion resistant steel grades 12H18N9T (AISI 321) and 20H13 (AISI 420), taken into account in the selective laser melting technique.

The article touches upon the technical problems and perspectives of implementing the Selective Laser Melting method for producing structural components for aircraft. The possibilities of additive manufacturing technology processes and their advantages in comparison with traditional methods of part formation are shown. Issues of standardization in the field of additive manufacturing, as well as terms and definitions adopted at the present time, are considered. Based on the analysis of literary sources, the necessity of developing selective laser melting methods for the specific steels and alloys used in aircraft production is shown.
