Corrosion performance and degradation mechanism of a bi-metallic aluminum structure processed by wire-arc additive manufacturing

Abstract An Al-5Mg alloy (AA5083) block, deposited over an AA6061 substrate by wire-arc additive manufacturing, was electrochemically tested along two different cross-sectional planes by cyclic polarization in 3.5 wt.% NaCl. The deposited layers and the interlayer boundaries showed similar polarizat...
