Abstract

Traditional additive manufacturing (AM) technologies tend to focus on powder bed fusion (PBF) methods, such as SLM (selective laser melting) and EBM (electron beam melting), that are attractive for the rapid production of complex components. However, their inherent drawbacks include the high cost of powders, high energy consumption and size limitation. Hence, more affordable and flexible direct energy deposition processes, such as wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), are gaining increased interest. This study aims to evaluate the corrosion behavior, including the stress corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel, produced by the WAAM process. Experimental samples in the form of cylindrical rods were produced by WAAM process using 316L stainless steel wires and compared with their counterpart AISI 316L alloy. The corrosion resistance was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization, impedance spectroscopy and slow strain rate testing (SSRT). Despite the differences between the microstructures of printed WAAM 316L alloy and its counterpart AISI 316L, the corrosion performance of both alloys in 3.5% NaCl solution was quite similar.
