Tribocorrosion Behavior of Inconel 718 Fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion-Based Additive Manufacturing
Source abstract
Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has gained significant research attention to fabricate complex 3D Inconel alloy components for jet engines. The strategic advantages of LPBF-based AM to fabricate jet components for aerospace applications are well reported. The jet components are exposed to a high degree of vibration during the jet operation in a variable aqueous environment. The combined vibration and the aqueous environment create a tribological condition that can accelerate the failure mechanism. Therefore, it is critical to understand the tribocorrosion behavior of the Inconel alloy. In the present work, tribocorrosion behavior of the LPBF fabricated standalone coating of Inconel 718 in the 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution is presented. The LPBF fabricated samples are analyzed to determine the impact of porosity, generated as a result of LPBF, on the triobocorrosion behavior of AM Inconel 718. The study includes potentiodynamic tests, cathodic polarization, along with OCP measurements. The corrosive environment is found to increase the wear by 29.24% and 49.5% without the initiation of corrosion in the case of AM and wrought Inconel 718, respectively. A corrosion accelerated wear form of tribocorrosion is observed for Inconel 718. Additionally, the corrosive environment has a significant effect on wear even when the Inconel 718 surface is in equilibrium potential with the corrosive environment and no corrosion potential scan is applied. This study provides an insight into a critical aspect of the AM Inconel components.
