General information about development of additive technologies, as well as an overview of the main schema- tics of layer by layer manufacturing of metal products is presented. The technologies and equipment for electron beam layerby-layer production of metal products using wire and powder as a raw material is described. Experimental data obtained by the authors as a result of electron beam additive manufacturing of low-carbon steel, stainless austenitic steel and technical titanium samples are described. Relations between the product geometry and the electron beam main parameters are obtained. The analysis of microstructures is carried out. The main zones formed in the samples fabricated by this method are described. It is shown that typical microstructure of stainless steel samples consists of the large dendrites with main axes up to a few millimeters in the direction of heat sink. In a pure titanium, in addition to the characteristic coarse-grained (up to several millimeters in diameter) structure, there are zones where a lamellar structure with colonies of about 1 mm is observed, as well as a zone in the form of a strip about 1 mm wide along the walls, which is an acicular structure. This is obviously related to the cooling mode, since the character of the heat sink along the edges of the sample differs from the central zones. The analysis of electron beam additive technologies prospects is carried out. Examples of electron beam additive technology using in modern fabrication of accelerator technics, aircraft and machine building are demonstrated.
