description To enhance the surface quality of metal 3D-printed components, magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) technology was employed for post-processing polishing. Experimental investigation employing response surface methodology was conducted to explore the impact of processing gap, rotational speed of the magnetic field, auxiliary vibration, and magnetic abrasive particle (MAP) size on the quality enhancement of internal surfaces. A regression model correlating roughness with crucial process parameters was established, followed by parameter optimization. Ultimately, the internal surface finishing of waveguides with blind cavities was achieved, and the finishing quality was comprehensively evaluated. Results indicate that under optimal process conditions, the roughness of the specimens decreased from Ra 2.5 μm to Ra 0.65 μm, reflecting a reduction rate of 74%. Following sequential rough and fine processing, the roughnesses of the cavity bottom, side wall, and convex surface inside the waveguide reduced to 0.59 μm, 0.61 μm, and 1.9 μm, respectively, from the original Ra above 12 μm. The findings of this study provide valuable technical insights into the surface finishing of metal 3D-printed components.
