Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have developed rapidly in recent years, creating new opportunities and challenges for the nuclear industry; however, adoption requires that their corrosion performance be evaluated. Here, we discuss known reactor-specific corrosion issues for multiple reactor types and engineering concerns such as regulations and standards. A review of corrosion studies conducted on select AM alloys informs a discussion on key bulk and surface factors likely to impact corrosion behaviors. Recommendations to assess corrosion performance for AM materials are provided, including management of the unique nature of as-built AM surfaces and the inherent process variability that occurs for AM components.
