Abstract

The influences of electromagnetic stirring (EMS) at different frequencies on the formability, microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of Inconel625-HSLA (high-strength low-alloy) steel functionally graded materials (FGMs) were studied. A wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) system with EMS at different frequencies was applied to fabricate the Inconel625-HSLA steel FGMs. The ratio of the maximum effective area (Rmax) was used to illustrate the formability of the FGMs. The Rmax of the FGMs was increased from 54.7 to 84.8% after EMS at a frequency of 4 Hz with an excitation current of 2 A. The tensile strength and microhardness were tested, and electrochemical tests were conducted to study the corrosion resistance of the FGMs. Compared to the FGM without EMS, the FGM fabricated in EMS at a frequency of 4 Hz and excitation current of 2 A had a primary dendrite spacing that was an average of 13.7% lower, an increased average tensile strength and microhardness (12.5 and 6.7%, respectively), and an increased the corrosion potential (Ecorr), pitting potential (Ep) and passive region (ΔE); these values increased from − 186 to − 139 mVSCE, from 299 to 477 mVSCE and from 113 to 338 mVSCE, respectively.
