Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Tribological and corrosion properties play an important role in the durability of metallic components. In recent years, additive manufacturing (AM) processes such as selective laser melting (SLM) have emerged as prevalent techniques for producing both traditional and new alloys, producing materials with new microstructural and mechanical characteristics. Research efforts have mostly focused on studying the microstructure–mechanical properties of AM alloys; however, research developments must be explored and studied to offer new relevant outlooks and fundamental understanding of tribological and corrosion properties. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to collect relevant research papers or reviews reporting significant progress in the assessment and comprehension of tribological and corrosion properties of AM Alloys.

The following concepts affecting or related to the tribological and corrosion properties of AM alloys are included, but are not limited to:

  • Alloy systems such as steels, Al alloys, Ti alloys, Mg alloys, refractory metals, etc;
  • High entropy alloys, metallic glasses, and metal matrix composites;
  • Influence of different processing parameters;
  • Influence of different powder morphologies;
  • Effect of residual stresses, pores, and unmelted powders;
  • Effect of post-process treatments;
  • Computer modeling and simulation;

The 316 L stainless-steel samples were prepared by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The effects of processing parameters on the density and defects of 316 L stainless steel were studied through an orthogonal experiment. The density of the samples was measured by the Archimedes method, optical microscopy (OM) and X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT). The microstructures and defects under different LPBF parameters were studied by OM and SEM. The results show that the energy density has a significant effect on the defect and density of the structure. When the energy density is lower than 35.19 J/mm3, the density increases significantly with the increase of energy density. However, when the energy density is larger than this value, the density remains relatively stable. The process parameter with the greatest influence on energy density is the hatch distance D, followed by laser power P, scanning speed V and rotation angle θ. In this paper, the optimum parameters consist of P = 260 W, V = 1700 mm, D = 0.05 mm and θ = 67°, in which the density is as high as 98.5%. In addition, the possibility and accuracy of the XCT method in detecting the discontinuity and porosity of 316 L stainless steel were discussed. The results show that XCT can provide the whole size and variation trend of pores in the different producing direction of LPBF. Full article
