Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) made significant development in the past decade, particularly in the domain of metal additive manufacturing (MAM). MAM-built components suffer from certain limitations, and these boundaries can be eliminated by selecting appropriate post-processing techniques. The most common of which that are used for MAM-built components are heat treatment, hot-isostatic pressing and conventional machining. With the advancements in technology, new post-processing techniques are being attempted by researchers on MAM-built components to tailor the microstructure, mechanical properties and surface quality as per user requirements. This chapter reviews the various advancements in the post-processing techniques for MAM-built components. Furthermore, the chapter compiles the various advanced post-processing techniques by explaining the process-physics and its application to MAM-built components covering the latest research efforts. Finally, this chapter will serve as a reference document for novices, researchers and industrialists who are interested to work in the area of MAM-built components post-processing.
