In-Situ Laser Polishing Additive Manufactured AlSi10Mg: Effect of Laser Polishing Strategy on Surface Morphology, Roughness and Microhardness

of the upper surface can be reduced from 12.5 μm to 3.7 μm and from to 29.3 μm to 8.4 μm, respectively, due to sufficient wetting in the molten pool. The microhardness of the upper surface can be elevated from 112.3 HV to 176.9 HV under the combined influence of the grain refinement, elements distribution change and surface defects elimination. Better surface quality can be gained by decreasing the hatching space, increasing polishing pass or choosing apposite laser direction.
