Abstract

To enhance the products fabricated from wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) processes, it is very important to implement a critical assessment of the corrosion performance of additively manufactured stainless steel (SS) for the application of additive manufacturing parts widely used in industries. The common defects in metal additive manufacturing, which include porosity, poor surface finish, oxidation, environmental factor, residual stress, and microstructural defects, are known to significantly influence the corrosion behavior of WAAM-processed SS components prepared to be used under different corrosive and marine environments. This article reviews the recently published works on WAAM-processed SS and provides a critical overview method to improve the corrosion performance of SS components built with the WAAM processes. It also documents some significant factors that determine the corrosion resistance of WAAM-processed SS and identifies key areas for future work.
