Modification of Surface and Subsurface Properties of Additively Manufactured Inconel 718 Components Through Post-Process and Interlayer Machine Hammer Peening

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables rapid, near-net-shape fabrication with high material efficiency, but the resulting components often exhibit surface roughness, microstructural heterogeneity, and tensile residual stresses that reduce their performance. Machine hammer peening (M...
