TECHNOLOGY OF QUALITY CONTROL OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PRODUCTS DURING PRINTING OF ELEMENTS OF ENERGY COMPLEXES

Additive manufacturing significantly impacts the energy sector through its ability to form complex geometries and optimize designs, enhancing the performance and reliability of energy systems and complexes. This type of manufacturing allows the creation of optimized parts considering energy efficiency and durability requirements, for example, heat exchangers can be designed and manufactured with a unique structure to improve their efficiency, and new energy devices and systems can be quickly prototyped for testing and optimization before mass production. The use of additive manufacturing can make parts production for energy complexes more localized and flexible, which is particularly beneficial when creating small and medium-sized energy systems. The paper discusses technologies for quality control of additive manufacturing products in the process of printing elements of energy complexes. Describes the state-of-the-art methods and controls used to ensure the high quality of 3D printed parts required for efficient operation of energy systems. Various aspects of inspection are covered, including printing process monitoring, flaw detection, material structure analysis, and geometric inspection. Examples are given of the use of various quality control methods in the context of the production of elements for energy complexes, making the article relevant for specialists in the field of additive manufacturing and energy. An analysis of existing printing technologies was carried out, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technology that is used in the process of serial production of additive manufacturing products for elements of power plants and complexes were highlighted.
