In view of the non-destructive and non-contact features, laser ultrasonic (LU) technology has long been the effective method to detect tiny defects for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufactured specimens. Of larger concern is the variation and the corresponding mechanism on tested results of LU detection as the property of LPBF additive manufactured specimen is changed. Aiming at the property of surface roughness, this work investigated the propagation characteristics of excited ultrasonic waves in LPBF additive manufactured 316L stainless steel with different surface roughness, as ...
