Quantifying the Impact of Multi-Stage Surface Mechanical Treatment Process on the Geometrical and Dimensional Characteristics of 316L Stainless Steel Components Fabricated via Multi-Step Material Extrusion Technology
Material Extrusion of metals (MEX/M) followed by debinding and sintering is a cost-effective multi-step route for producing complex metallic components. However, the inherent staircase effect and sintering-induced distortions often necessitate aggressive post-treatment processes to meet industrial requirements. The aim...
