304 stainless steel test block was fabricated by continuous melting wire with CMT and pulse mixed mode, and the path of additive manufacturing is layered slice S-shaped. The relationship between microstructure and properties of the specimen was investigated by microscope, SEM, EBSD, XRD, tensile, impact and electrochemical experiments. The results show that molding between weld and weld is very good, and the microstructure is mainly Austenite, Ferrite and a little of σ, and there are three kinds of Ferrite morphology: cellular, wormlike and lath. σ phase precipitates easily in regions with high ferrite content and is distributed at the boundary between austenite and ferrite. The specimen has good low temperature toughness. The microscopic fracture surface is mainly dimple, and the precipitates in the fracture surface are mainly fine carbide particles. The tensile strength of the additive manufacturing 304 specimen is higher than the forged specimen, and the type of fracture is ductile fracture. The electrochemical analysis of 304 stainless steel specimens and forgings shows that CMT and pulse arc additive manufacturing specimen has excellent corrosion resistance and its corrosion current is slightly lower than the forging.

Stainless steel is a material manufactured for its high corrosive resistance and is the first choice of material in a range of applications. Microbial-induced corrosion can cause significant damage to metals and is responsible for approximately 20% of corrosive damage. The corrosive resistance of stainless steel is reduced during manufacturing processes, including welding or joining methods, as the connection points prevent the metal from reforming its passivation layer. Additive manufacturing processes allow for intricate designs to be produced without the need for welding or bolts. However, it is unknown how the layering method of additive manufacturing (AM) will affect stainless steel’s passivation layer and, in turn, its corrosive resistance. This research compares the corrosive resistance of 316L stainless steel produced using laser metal deposition and traditionally manufactured AISI 316 stainless steel to determine how the layering manufacturing method affects the corrosive resistance of the material. Samples are incubated over a 21-day period with Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A.f) and Leptospirillum ferooxidans (L.f) in a modified HH medium with an approximate pH of 1.8 and kept at a constant temperature of 30 °C. Scanning electron microscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy surface analysis techniques are used to identify any corrosive processes on the surface of the samples. This research is an introductory analysis of the corrosive resistance of AM 316 stainless steel using the laser metal deposition technique. The results show how stainless steel produced using laser metal deposition will react in acidic environments and are used to determine if it could be used in conjunction with other materials in underground pipes for acidic soils.

Abstract An innovative pulsed micro-plasma additive manufacturing (AM) system is proposed for the fabrication of thin-walled 316 stainless steel parts. During the deposition process, the heat accumulation from the micro-plasma can be controlled effectively by adjusting the following parameters: the AM current, pulse length of the plasma arc, and scanning speed. The width of the pool can reach 3.0 mm. The microstructural analysis, micro-hardness tests, and tensile strength tests were performed. The results of the structural characterisation showed that columnar dendrites predominated in the microstructure of thin-walled elements and exhibited epitaxial growth from the bottom to the top and from the middle to both sides, while the top grains had more variations in growth orientation. The grains had a core-shell structure with a growth orientation along the < 100 > direction of the austenite structure, and the boundary was composed of migrated C and Cr. The micro-hardness of the thin-walled structure (240–320 Hv0.3) decreased with increasing the deposition thickness. The tensile strength and yield strength of the thin-walled parts were 669 and 475 MPa, respectively. The fracture mechanism was that cracks formed along the pores along the pores of the grain boundary and then propagated along them, ultimately leading to the fracture.
