Abstract
- A systematic study was conducted to investigate the distinct mechanisms involved in the formation of the inner surfaces of cylindrical and parallelepipedic-shaped structures. The surface roughness, flatness, and sinking distance were used as key indices to measure the quality of overhanging surfaces, while the surface flatness and roughness were used to evaluate the quality of the side and bottom surfaces of the inner hole. The inner surface morphology was observed using a scanning electron microscope and a white light interferometer. The test results show that the quality of the overhanging surface had a significant impact on the quality of the parallelepipedic-shaped inner hole. In contrast, the cylindrical-shaped inner hole had a shorter but more uniformly distributed overhanging surface, resulting in a different behavior of the overhanging and side surface quality. An improved model of the overhanging surface was established by combining all of the above results and comparing them with the traditional Euler Bernoulli beam model. The factors affecting the quality of the overhanging surface were analyzed, and measures for improving the quality of the overhanging surface during the SLM manufacturing process were proposed.
