Unsettled Topics on Surface Finishing of Metallic Powder ...
Slattery, Kevin T. Laser (L-PBF) and electron-beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) technology, or "3D printing, " has transitioned from prototypes and tooling to production components of geometries that can only be made using AM in demanding fields such as medicine and aerospace. These initial applications eitherTake advantage of the relatively high surface roughness of the processAre in fatigue, corrosion, or flow environments where surfa...
