It is a challenge to polish the interior surface of an additively manufactured component with complex structures and groove sizes less than 1 mm. Traditional polishing methods are disabled to polish the component, meanwhile keeping the structure intact. To overcome this challenge, small-grooved components made of aluminum alloy with sizes less than 1 mm were fabricated by a custom-made printer. A novel approach to multi-phase jet (MPJ) polishing is proposed, utilizing a self-developed polisher that incorporates solid, liquid, and gas phases. In contrast, abrasive air jet (AAJ) polishing is recommended, employing a customized polisher that combines solid and gas phases. After jet polishing, surface roughness (Sa) on the interior surface of grooves decreases from pristine 8.596 μm to 0.701 μm and 0.336 μm via AAJ polishing and MPJ polishing, respectively, and Sa reduces 92% and 96%, correspondingly. Furthermore, a formula defining the relationship between linear energy density and unit defect volume has been developed. The optimized parameters in additive manufacturing are that linear energy density varies from 0.135 J mm−1 to 0.22 J mm−1. The unit area defect volume achieved via the optimized parameters decreases to 1/12 of that achieved via non-optimized ones. Computational fluid dynamics simulation results reveal that material is removed by shear stress, and the alumina abrasives experience multiple collisions with the defects on the heat pipe groove, resulting in uniform material removal. This is in good agreement with the experimental results. The novel proposed setups, approach, and findings provide new insights into manufacturing complex-structured components, polishing the small-grooved structure, and keeping it unbroken.
