Abstract: Metallic modules are main important structures of expendable launch vehicles. It is required that the products have high properties, lightweight and manufacturing with low costs and the structures of long-term reusable launch vehicles need much more stronger and reliable. Aluminium alloys of high properties has the biggest proportion of structural materials among metallic modules, and sand casting, forging, spinning forming, joining assemblies, etc. of deformed aluminum alloys with high properties are still main structural manufacturing technologies. Magnesium alloy with high properties has great potential applications to decrease the structural weight. The applications of additive manufacturing are rising rapidly. Combining relevant engineering researches and some documents, it analyses the research status of relevant material processing of the above mentioned, and it puts forward some applying and developing proposals. It is beneficial to determine the technological lines of material processing of products development with synthetic balancing oriented to the whole life cycle, and to deepen crucial research and application of material and processing with high properties, and to promote strong and reliable products and high efficient smooth production.
