The paper discusses the effect of hydro abrasive treatment on the inner surface of products obtained by selective laser melting (SLM). The hydro abrasive treatment effect on the faceting of these products has been investigated, the process simulated in ANSYS, and an area defined in which cavitation bubbles have occurred. The abrasive grain of black silicon carbide has been used as a filler; cylindrical samples printed of VT6 titanium alloy (an analog of Ti6Al4V) have been processed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
