Abstract
The Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process is one of the most preferred metal Additive
Manufacturing (AM) processes capable of producing high-resolution and high-density
intricate parts used in various Aerospace and Biomedical Industrial applications. However, the
layer-by-layer consolidation of metal powders while building three-dimensional parts yields
substandard surface quality. The subpar surface finish leads to poor mechanical performance,
especially under dynamic loading conditions. Thus, the LPBF-built parts fail to meet the
suitable functional performance of industrial standards. The contribution of this work is
intended to fill the gap of knowledge regarding the influence of chemical machining treatments on surface quality and fatigue properties of LPBF parts. Chemical finishing offers the advantage of
acting on the whole surface, without the need for additional tools.
