Abstract

AbstractThe field of 3D printing is growing rapidly with the adaptation of disruptive technologies and modern materials. Additive Manufacturing (AM) component cannot be directly used for industrial application due its poor surface, mechanical, corrosion and tribology properties. Among those, surface finish and surface hardness play an important role on the wear and corrosion properties of AM component. So, it is important to address the aforementioned factors to further enhance the properties of the AM component. Hence, post-printing surface modification such as finishing and coatings are essential on the surface of AM components to improve the properties. Also, it is important to address the influence of various surface treatments, coatings, and surface oxidation on the surface quality of AM components, to provide a new insights, ideas, and recent innovations in this domain. Hence, the present chapter reviews the various advance coatings and treatments followed on the materials after the Additive Manufacturing process.KeywordsAdditive manufacturingSurface coatingsSurface modification techniquesSurface qualitySurface properties3D printing
