Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part E: Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, Ahead of Print.
The influence of post-heat treatment on the microstructural and electropolishing characteristics of the laser powder bed fusion processed Inconel 718 is studied. The electropolishing results show a significant decrease in the surface roughness for as-...
