    Abstract: A polishing method for an inner wall of a hollow metal part, including: firstly, placing a coaxial cathode in an inner hole of a metal part when a metal part model is designed, and printing the metal part model and the coaxial cathode together; then, sealing two ends of an inner hole cavity of the metal part by using a light curing part, fixing the coaxial cathode, filling the cavity with a polishing solution, and performing polishing treatment by using an electrochemical polishing method; and finally, reversing an electrode to break the coaxial cathode and take out the broken coaxial cathode to obtain a polished metal part. The polishing of a complex-shaped inner hole of a 3D-printed metal part is realized, the defect that an inner hole of a 3D-printed metal part with a complex-shaped hollow part cannot be polished by using a traditional machining method is overcome, the problem that an inner wall of a metal part polished by using an electrochemical method is non-uniform is solved, the surface quality of the inner hole of the 3D-printed metal part with the complex-shaped hollow part is improved, and the application prospect and postprocessing technology of the 3D-printed metal part are expanded.
