Development of Micro Selective Laser Melting: The State of the Art and Future Perspectives (2019, background): “Mass finishing techniques such as vibratory finishing [126,137] and barrel finishing [127], which are based on the principle of sliding between the component surface and the abrasive particles, have been used for AM parts.”
The barriers to the progression of additive manufacture: perspectives from UK industry (2018, background): “Options for surface finishing of AM parts described in research literature include mechanical blasting, chemical etching, electro polishing, laser ablation, micro-machining and vibratory grinding (Bagehorn et al., 2017; Lhuissier et al., 2016; Longhitano et al., 2015; Mohammad et al., 2016; Wang et ”
A review on the state-of-the-art of surface finishing processes and related ISO/ASTM standards for metal additive manufactured components (2020, background): “It is also important to note that the surface characteristics of metal AM components might affect the fatigue life, fluid flow, and tribological properties (Bagehorn, Wehr, and Maier 2017).”
