Abstract
Nowadays, the use of additive technologies is increasing. Despite the exceptional capability to produce complex geometries, additive technologies are unable to produce components or functional surfaces within tight tolerances and integrity demands. With other words, “as build” surface qualities are poorer in comparison to a conventional machined surfaces. Therefore, components have to be post-machined. Lately, abrasive flow machining (AFM) is offering improvements in such cases. However, many process parameters, e.g. abrasive media property, temperature, velocity, etc. influencing the performance of AFM and their understanding is crucial for successful implementation of AFM into the industrial applications. This paper presents critical scientific review of AFM, with an emphasis on post-machining of 3D printed metal parts.
