Mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of circular oscillating laser direct energy deposited nickel-based superalloy after different heat-treatment processes by Yelin Xia, Haoran Wu, Keyi Liu, Jianbo Lei, Yabao Hu, Hanning Chen, Chen Zheng

“…After solid solution and aging treatment, the tensile strength of GH3536 alloy increased to 840 MPa, and the elongation exceeded 39%, which were 22.90% and 9.7% higher than that of the as-deposited GH3536 alloy, respectively; During electrochemical corrosion, solid solution treatment and solution + aging treatment lead to more uniform microstructure, facilitating the formation of denser passivation films and enhancing corrosion resistance. After aging treatment, dendritic microstructures and precipitates are prone to induce potential differences, undermining the corrosion resistance.…”
