Abstract
This study investigated the effect of heat treatment on the microstructural evolution and passive film properties of selective laser melted (SLMed) CoCrMo alloy in physiological saline. The results demonstrate that heat treatment at 1000°C improves the corrosion resistance of SLMed CoCrMo alloy, attributed to the formation of an electrochemically stable passive film with a uniform and low defect density structure. In contrast, after heat treatment at 750°C, the passive film on the SLMed CoCrMo alloy exhibits poor stability with a high defect density therein, therefore, an inferior corrosion resistance is deserved due to a rapid dissolution rate. Moreover, the relationship between microstructural evolution and corrosion resistance under different heat treatment conditions is discussed in detail.
