AbstractTraditionally produced SRF cavities are characterized by many limiting drawbacks, such as welding lines and poor reproducibility of their properties. Additive Manufacturing, and in particular Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), may overcome these issues: with this technology, it is possible to create seamless components with reproducible characteristics. But 6 GHz cavities cannot see internal supports because they would not be easily removable. On the other hand, the down-skin self-supporting surfaces are extremely rough and unsuitable for the intended application. Indeed, very smooth surfaces are required since copper cavities are internally coated with superconducting materials (like Nb or Nb alloys): several surface treatments have been performed and studied; tests like tightness, resonant frequency and internal inspections have also been carried out before and after the post-printing smoothening and coating stages. Results are very promising and they will be shown in this work.
