Surface roughness and radiusing of Ti6Al4V selective laser melting-manufactured parts conditioned by barrel finishing
Selective laser melting is, at present, one of the
fastest growing additive manufacturing technologies. It allows
the manufacture of functional components characterized by
high complex geometries with engineering-grade metals.
Notwithstanding, it is employed in many industries such as
aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and defense; a great limitation
for its diffusion is the obtainable surface quality. This
work aims to improve the surface of Ti6Al4V parts produced
by this technology through barrel finishing. It is a mass
