Abstract
In this study, the selective laser melting Ti6Al4V alloy was modified for the first time by hot stamping post-treatment. The hot stamping treatment improved corrosion resistance, almost 2.38 times the selective laser melting sample. The improved corrosion resistance was attributed to the reduction of porosity with 67.7 % (0.62 % → 0.20 %) and average grain size with 29.9 % (3.65 μm → 2.56 μm) while the increase of β phase fraction with 368.8 % (0.16 % → 0.75 %) and low angle grain boudary fraction with 57.4 % (15.34 % → 24.15 %). Hence, this study concluded that the hot stamping treatment was a feasible method to enhance the corrosion resistance of selective laser melting Ti6Al4V alloy.
