| Abstract Scope |
Laser-Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Bound Powder Extrusion (BPE) are additive manufacturing (AM) processes for metal that assembles layer-by-layer. LPBF uses a laser sintering method while BPE is similar to fused deposition modeling (FDM). Despite the advantages of AM, electroplating additive manufactured surfaces have not been examined. Electroplating demonstrates favorable qualities, however LPBF and BPE surfaces require further investigation. In this work, we focus on electroplating LPBF and BPE 17-4 stainless steel. LPBF and BPE samples are electroplated using different bath chemistries to achieve different thickness of Nickel-plated AM material. Results are discussed in the context of surface roughness along with the feasibility of electroplating AM metal surfaces for adhesion, and corrosion applications. The Pin-On-Rod test determines the adhesion on the Nickel-plated LPBF and BPE samples. Based on the results, electroplated AM material properties are observed.
