Effect of heat treatment and electroless Ni-P coating on mechanical property and corrosion behaviour of 316L stainless steel fabricated by laser powder bed fusion
ABSTRACTWith the prosperity of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology, post-processing tends to be increasingly attractive in further improving the performance of the LPBFed parts. In this study, post-heat treatment and electroless plating were performed on the LPBFed 316L stainless steel to inve...

description | ABSTRACTWith the prosperity of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology, post-processing tends to be increasingly attractive in further improving the performance of the LPBFed parts. In this study, post-heat treatment and electroless plating were performed on the LPBFed 316L stainless steel to investigate the evolution of surface topography, mechanical property and corrosion behaviour. The results show that the as-built part features melt tracks and fine cellular substructures, which presents higher deformation resistance than the cast and recrystallized counterparts. The uniform amorphous Ni-P coating can significantly increase microhardness of as-built 316L stainless steel from ∼300 to ∼800 HV. In addition, the as-built parts with/without coatings have better corrosion resistance than the corresponding cast ones, which can be further improved through 450°C annealing. Moreover, the coatings can also prevent the localised corrosion effectively. Therefore, this study provides available post-processing methods for further improve the performance of LPBFed 316L stainless steel. |
