Abstract
A Nanosecond pulse laser can effectively remove the oxide scale on the surface of SUS301L stainless steel joints and help improve corrosion resistance. This work compared and analyzed the effects of the top-hat beam, Gaussian beam, and two-step method (first Gaussian beam and then top-hat beam) treatment on the corrosion behavior of joint surfaces. Activation dissolution behavior without the passive region was still found in the thick oxide scale's potentiodynamic polarization curves, which had not been removed after the top-hat beam irradiation; After Gaussian beam irradiation, the oxide scale in various local rejoins was effectively removed and passivation zones appeared. Still, the outer edge of the pulse crater with poor protection tended to corrode preferentially; By using a two-step method, first cleaned with a Gaussian beam, and then irradiated with a top-hat beam, a smooth silver-white surface with the highest pitting potential, the largest impedance, and shallow disc-shaped pit morphology can be obtained. TEM observation found that higher corrosion resistance is related to surface Cr-rich oxide film regeneration. This work provides a new approach for laser processing of oxide scales on the surface of joints.
