Abstract

Abstract: The microstructure and corrosion resistance of Inconel 718 alloy made by selective laser melting (SLM) by aging heat treatment (AT) were studied. After the solution treatment at 1050°C, the aging treatment temperature ranges from 600°C to 800°C. Scanning electron microscopy showed that γ" was precipitated out of the γ austenite matrix, with σ decrease in delta phase. The morphology, distribution and formation mechanism of precipitates in these microstructures were analyzed and discussed. Open circuit voltage curve (OCPT), alternating current impedance spectrum (IMP) and TAFEL curve (TAFEL) were tested by electrochemical workstation. Electrochemical corrosion results and corrosion resistance of samples after four different heat treatments were analyzed, and the best aging heat treatment mode and multistage aging treatment were discussed.
