Abstract Scope |
Surface roughness is an important characteristic of additively manufactured parts, as it can impact various mechanical properties, such as friction or fatigue life. Further, surface roughness can change significantly depending on a number of factors: part geometry, build plate location, process parameters or powder characteristics. Generally, it has been previously established that printing angle has a significant effect on surface roughness. In this study we reanalyze a dataset constructed based on Laser-Beam Powder Bed Fusion manufactured nickel super alloy 625 parts, with the goal of evaluating the effect of location and print orientation on variability of surface roughness, particularly relative to printing angle. Different combinations of location-orientation-angles factors are tested using ANOVA, with the findings significant. In addition, we further consider the question of characterizing surface roughness measures as applied to additive manufacturing and explore distributional analysis (particularly extreme value theory) as a way to qualify these measures. |
