This paper presents a study of the microstructure evolution due to oxidation exposure of Inconel 625 (IN625) alloy produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). IN625 is a nickel-based superalloy characterized by good mechanical properties, excellent oxidation, and corrosion resistance from cryogenic temperatures up to 980 degrees C, allowing its wide use in various harsh environments. In order to enable the application of LPBF IN625 components at high temperatures, the oxidation properties and microstructure of as-built and post-heat treated LPBF IN625 alloy must be carefully investigated. For this reason, an extensive characterization of the oxidation behavior of the alloy in the as-built condition and after solution treatment was performed. For both these conditions, the oxidation treatments were performed at 900 degrees C up to 96 h. The characterization was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scratch test analysis. The characteristics of the oxide layer and formed phases were investigated. The as-built IN625 state presented greater oxidation resistance compared to the solutionized IN625 one. The latter condition showed a defected oxide layer with the presence of Nb and Ni oxides inside the Cr oxide layer. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
