[0002] Modern aero-engine hot-end components present complex geometric characteristics such as multi-scale flow channels, special-shaped thin walls and irregular curved surfaces, and their extreme service conditions pose strict technical requirements on surface integrity. Traditional hot forming and mechanical processing are difficult to meet the forming precision and performance requirements of high-strength alloy large-scale integral structural parts and precise complex components. Additive manufacturing technology breaks through the technical barriers of "design-manufacturing" through a layer-by-layer deposition process, providing a new way for component lightweight and functional integration. However, in the additive forming process, phenomena such as step effect, spheroidization effect and powder adhesion lead to high surface roughness (Ra>12.5μm) and other surface quality problems such as residual tensile stress, which seriously affect the fatigue resistance and aerodynamic efficiency, so it is urgent to develop a new finishing process with low cost, high efficiency and good uniformity.
