Abstract

Inconel 718 alloy is a popular material used for additive manufacturing. Corrosion involvement is crucial for its application. The corrosion behaviors of the additive manufacturing Inconel 718 alloy in neutral NaCl solution and acidic solution have been thoroughly investigated and documented. However, information available in the literature regarding the corrosion behaviors of additive manufacturing Inconel 718 alloy in alkaline solution is insufficient. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of Inconel 718 alloy fabricated through selective laser melting (SLM Inconel 718) in NaOH solution was studied using open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiostats polarization, Mott-Schottky analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results were compared with a commercial rolled Inconel 718 alloy (R Inconel 718). Pitting corrosion was observed in both SLM Inconel 718 alloy and R Inconel 718 alloy. SLM Inconel 718 alloy has lower activity and corrosion rate compared with R Inconel 718 alloy. Because the passive film formed on the surface of SLM Inconel 718 alloy has a lower content of porous NiO and a higher content of compact Cr2O3, the passive film is more compact; however, the donor/acceptor density is lower in the passive film.
