N2 - The viscous layer generated on the anode surface during electrochem-ical polishing is essential for obtaining a smooth, mirror-like surface. However, the growth of the viscous layer for polishing Laser-Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) components with rough surface features of several hundred microns in height and wavelength differs from the micron/nanoscale surface finish. This study employed a Spatial Frequency Method to model rough L-PBF surfaces. The effect of height and frequency distribution parameters on the viscous layer thickness, geometry and uniformity was numerically investigated. NaCl-Ethylene Glycol-Ethanol and commercial A2 electrolytes were utilised to polish L-PBF 316L stainless steel for verification purposes. The results show that the viscous layer of the high-frequency surfaces is more homogeneous than the low-frequency surfaces, and the roughness reduction can reach 97.6% compared to 64% for the low-frequency surfaces.
