However, achieving accurate dimensions, geometries, and acceptable surface states in parts fabricated through SLM remains a concern as they often fall short compared to traditionally machined components. As a solution, a hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing (HASM) method was developed to effectively utilize the advantages of both techniques. In this study, SLM-made 316 L stainless steel was machined under distinct cooling conditions to investigate the effects of roughness and tool wear. After a thorough investigation, the dual-MQL strategy was evaluated and compared with dry and MQL cutting strategies. The findings showed that the dual-MQL condition led to a significant reduction in flank wear by 54-56% and 29-34%, respectively, associated with dry and MQL cutting techniques, making it a highly promising key for machining SLM-made steel components. Machine learning techniques are potential tools for prediction and classification capabilities in machining processes. For milling SLM-made 316 L SS, multilayer perceptron (MLP) proved to be the most effective prediction model and for classification MLP and Random forest performed better.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSLMHASMDual-MQLSurface finishMLPEnhancing surface quality and tool life in SLM-machined components with Dual-MQL approachArticle10.1016/j.jmrt.2024.06.1832-s2.0-851971015951852Q1183731WOS:001262824300001N/A
