Laser Polishing of Additively Manufactured RFQ Prototype

This project is part of “Research of additive manufacturing future strategies and vision for repairing components of particle accelerator” program. The main goal of this project was to explore possibilities to reduce surface roughness and porosity of RFQ built with additive manufacturing of pure copper by laser polishing. It was done in 2 steps: publications of aluminium laser polishing were studied and then recommended laser parameters for initial experiment of copper laser polishing were derived.
