Abstract

Despite significant technological advancements, the surface quality of SLM produced components remains a concern. Surface quality determines not only the features of the created product, but the entire process is sometimes called into question. Additive manufacturing offers several advantages and applications; however this approach cannot yet create high precision objects. As a result, post-processing of produced components aimed at improving total surface quality of manufactured parts becomes more important and crucial. The study examines the chemical polishing of AlSi10Mg components made with SLM technology, as well as the possibility of increasing overall surface quality by chemical treatment. SLM's chemical cure of the surface of AlSi10Mg was successful in improving the surface finish. The sample's original surface roughness was 19.37 microns, while the surface roughness after chemical polishing was reduced to 3.39 microns.
