| description | Surface morphology is a significant aspect of a solid material, whether for aesthetic or functional purposes and currently, through different surface modification methods, developments have been dedicated into advancing metallic materials to improved surface characteristics. Additively manufactured aluminium alloys have demonstrated an extensive choice of appropriate characteristics for different uses desired for the aviation and space industry. However, the surface hardness and tribological properties are insufficient in these materials due to the fact that when one property is enhanced one is compromised especially after thermal treatment. This makes the significant development and modification of the surface properties very imperative for existing and forthcoming engineering applications. There are many types of surface modification techniques used, in this paper an optimization of the barrel finishing that uses ceramic polishing media for commercially build SLM produced AlSi10Mg will be explored. Gloss value, surface roughness and other characteristics will be characterized. |
