| Abstract Scope |
The manufacturing processes have been continuously evolving due to the ever-increasing diversity of the applications. In that perspective, additive manufacturing (AM) has become important due to its design freedom and improved properties. In certain applications however, the properties are surface dependent. This research involves surface modification of different AM alloys through heat treatment and drop casting. Different electrolytes of changing concentrations have been used to replicate operating conditions ranging from moderate to aggressive. The corrosion behavior of surface modified alloys is analyzed through electrochemical measurements. The effect of changing electrolytes on the inherent cellular structure of the alloys has also been measured. Atomic force microscopy has been used to assess the surface damage on a macro scale. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy is used to understand the nature of the species formed on the surface. Finally, the electro-kinetic diagrams (E-pH-i) have been developed to predict a safe E-pH range for the alloys. |
