Abstract

In the present study, the impact of corrosion behavior on laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) built Inconel 718 (IN718) was examined in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution with an increasing immersion time of 1 day and 5 days. The influence of post-processing on corrosion behavior of as-built (AB) specimens such as solution treatment annealing (STA), and hot isostatically pressed (HIP) with double aging (HIP + DA) were studied in detail. The electrochemical measurements were carried out using open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization curve, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The HIP + DA specimen exhibits lower LAGB (low angle grain boundary), HAGB (high angle grain boundary), and reduced porosity than STA, and AB. A drastic microstructural change has occurred from columnar (as-built) to equiaxed grains (HIP + DA). The as-built specimen immersed for 5 days, exhibit the highest corrosion rate, indicating the rapid dissolution of the oxide layer in the trade-off with HIP + DA. Electrochemical analysis revealed that the HIP + DA has higher impedance at a lower frequency both for 1 day and 5 days of immersion, ensuring a candidate material for marine application. The HIP + DA specimen exhibited improved corrosion performance upon exposure to corrosive media. After corrosion, the as-built specimen shows more pits than HIP + DA specimens.
