| Abstract Scope |
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) techniques are being developed to enable rapid prototyping of complex geometries and reduce material waste to enable faster repairs in maritime applications and improve Naval fleet readiness. Stainless steel 316L (SS316L) is widely used in marine environments due to its superior mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance. However, AM processing defects like high surface roughness, micro-cracking and elemental segregation can act as initiation sites for localized attack. This study investigates the use of atomic layer deposition to create corrosion mitigating barriers on the as-printed surface of laser powder bed fusion SS316L. Thin films (100 nm) of alumina and titania were successfully grown on the SS316L surface and characterized using AC and DC electrochemical techniques in 0.6M NaCl. |
