Abstrakt: Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies revolutionized the manufacturing sector by enabling the production of complex components. But, the poor surface integrity hinders the direct functional application of as-built components and drastically affects the mechanical and tribological performance. In the last decade, researchers employed various post-processing techniques to improve the surface integrity of AM components. Thermal and chemical energy-based post-processes result in thermally destroyed and chemically modified surface layers on the finished surface. In contrast, mechanical energy-based post-processing techniques do not result in any modified finished surface integrities, due to which these techniques were extensively used for post-processing the AM components. The current article focuses on mechanical energy-based severe plastic deformation post-processing techniques to improve the surface integrity of the metal AM components. A detailed review of the published literature specific to each of these processes was carried out, and the research gaps are presented and adequately discussed in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
