Metastable pitting corrosion behavior of laser powder bed fusion produced Ti-6Al-4V in Hank's solution

Yu-Wei Cui et al.

Summary: This study investigated the metastable pitting corrosion behavior of LPBF-produced Ti-6Al-4V in Hank's solution using electrochemical methods. The LPBF-produced sample showed a higher frequency of pit nucleation compared to the annealed counterpart, mainly due to the passive films formed on the LPBF-produced sample having a higher flux of oxygen vacancies, absorbing more aggressive ions and producing more cation vacancies.
