Surface roughness of Selective Laser Melted Ti-6Al-4V alloy components

In this thesis, we study the influence of processing parameters, sample geometry, machine design and various factors that are intrinsic to the SLM process on the surface roughness of SLM Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The experimental observation of a multitude of phenomena that are interesting to AM industry and machine developer is made possible by the novel design of specimens and experiments.
