Abstract
This study investigates the influence of scan strategy on the microstructure, electrochemical behaviour, and passive film stability of Ni-Cr-based Alloy 625 fabricated via Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF). Four distinct scan strategies of No Pattern 180, No Pattern, Stripes, and Chess were evaluated under identical processing parameters. While hardness and subgrain size remained largely unaffected, significant differences were observed in dislocation density, which strongly correlated with passive layer integrity. Electrochemical analyses revealed that higher dislocation densities, particularly in the No Pattern 180 strategy, led to lower current densities in both passive and breakdown regions, despite similar corrosion potentials and Volta-potential values across all strategies. Mott-Schottky analysis confirmed reduced defect densities in the passive oxide layer of high-dislocation samples, and potentiostatic testing under tensile loading showed fewer breakdown events compared to low-dislocation samples. The results emphasize the importance of scan strategy choice not only for mechanical properties, but also for optimising corrosion resistance in additively manufactured components.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
