The study found that grain anisotropy during additive manufacturing of AISI 316L stainless steel may affect corrosion and pitting of the alloy. Additionally, residual stresses originating from rapid heating and cooling may also influence the performance of the steel.
During additive manufacturing of AISI 316 L stainless steel, heating and cooling cycles from selective laser melting (SLM) are responsible for grain anisotropy in the 'as-built' condition. Columnar grains form on the plane parallel to the build orientation, whilst equiaxed grains are observed on planes perpendicular to the build orientation. Anisotropy may affect corrosion and pitting of this alloy. In addition, residual stresses originating from the rapid heating and cooling inherent to SLM, may also influence corrosion and pitting of 316 L stainless steel. Electrochemical and immersion testing was carried out for 316 L as a function of build orientation and residual stresses.
