For this study, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) was performed on feedstock-modified 316L stainless steel powder with 1 and 2 vol% carbon nanotubes (CNT). The corrosion resistance was evaluated following cyclic potentiodynamic polarization tests conducted in 0.6 M NaCl at room temperature, 35 and 50 °C, and immersion tests in 6 % FeCl₃. The CNT addition has increased the pitting potential and decreased number of pits formed during immersion in FeCl₃ solution, which could be attributed to Mn-Si-O nano inclusions refinement and segregation of chromium around the inclusions. The observed corrosion behavior was correlated with the altered microstructure due to CNT addition.
