Surface Roughness

EOS NickelAlloy IN939 parameters were developed for optimized dimensional accuracy of internal cooling features, which are essential to hot gas path components in gas turbines. This comes with a compromise on downskin roughness. Whenever possible, for parts where optimized dimensional accuracy of internal cooling features is not needed, EOS recommends to switch off downskin exposure, to improve downskin roughness and buildability at low angles, and to increase process speed.
