Abstract

The effects of post heat treatments on the oxidation behavior of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) printed-316 L stainless steel (SS) in 600 °C supercritical CO2 were studied. The oxidation resistance was gradually deteriorated with increasing treatment temperature. That is because: 1, the high dislocation density in LPBF-316 L SS, which promotes the formation of protective oxide film by facilitating the diffusion of active elements, was decreased after heat treatment. 2, the density of twin boundary which is subject to general oxidation was increased, while that of low angle grain boundary which can passivate was decreased remarkably after hot isostatic pressing, thus decreasing the fraction of passivated grain boundaries.
