Abstract

Adding Ni alloy to duplex stainless steel (DSS) powder increased austenite content to ∼20 % in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) 22Cr DSS for as-built conditions. Annealing at 1000 °C promoted austenite formation (>95 %), whereas higher temperatures reduced it to 75 % at 1200 °C. The as-built LPBF 22Cr DSS exhibited a critical pitting potential (Epit) of 0.85 VSCE, which dropped to 0.25 VSCE after 1000 °C annealing, however it rebounded to 0.40 VSCE at 1200 °C. Ni improved tensile properties without enhancing pitting resistance. These results reveal the interplay between microstructure and pitting corrosion behavior, guiding the design of LPBF DSS.
