Effect of contour process parameters on the surface roughness of laser powder bed fusion manufactured 304 stainless steel

Surface roughness remains a major drawback in metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes. Even though finishing operations are applied, the surface roughness is still of interest because additive manufacturing is mainly applied in expensive materials and, in some cases, hard-to-machine materials. A...
