ABSTRACT
The advancement in the production of Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques is always supported with high accuracy and superior parts for various applications such as automobile components, medical implants, etc. Wear and surface roughness are most challenging aspects in the metallurgical components. In the case of Additive Manufacturing, the utilization of tools is very less as conventional manufacturing techniques. Surface roughness is one of the important components which confirms the surface texturing of the Additive Manufacturing components and it helps to compose very good unevenness of the components. Wear and surface roughness are the parameters which decide the quality of the Additive manufacturing operations. By considering the wear and surface roughness of the Additive Manufacturing produced components, there is less co-efficient of friction and rough surface after the manufacturing of the parts. This chapter discusses the various effects happening on the surface of the Additive Manufacturing products and composites after the production and machining of Additive Manufacturing parts, due to the wear and surface roughness of different techniques of Additive Manufacturing.
