Abstract
Selective laser melting(SLM)and directed energy deposition(DED),as two important additive manufac-turing(AM)methods,have garnered widespread industrial applications attributing to their advantages in fabricating complex structures.Since the complex nature of microstructures produced by different AM technologies,it is necessary to carry out a thorough investigation of the stress corrosion cracking(SCC)behavior affected by these microstructures in harsh environments(i.e.hydrofluoric acid(HF)).In this study,the SCC susceptibility of DED and SLM-fabricated 316 L in HF vapor was first systematically studied by comparing it with commercial wrought(WR)316 L to reveal the effect of microstructures(columnar crystals,melt pools,δ-ferrites,and dislocation cells)on the SCC behavior.Results show that DED-316 L has excellent SCC resistance and such resistance exhibits a low correlation with loading direction.This is because the reticulated distributed skeletal δ-ferrite facilitates enhancing film protection and hindering dislocation slip transfer.In contrast,SLM-316 L exhibits high SCC sensitivity together with a strong load-ing direction correlation.An SLM-316L-V with melt pool boundaries oriented perpendicular to the stress exhibits a high SCC tendency.Moreover,the dislocation cells without elemental segregation in SLM-316 L activate the corrosion reactivity and favor dislocation proliferation and transport,making SCC deterio-ration of SLM-316L-V in HF vapor.While a proper loading relationship can shield the adverse effect of dislocation cells on the stress corrosion of SLM-316 L(e.g.SLM-316L-H).Our efforts provide important theoretical guidance for the rational selection of fabrication technologies and microstructural design of materials in harsh environments.
