Title: Measuring the residual stress and stress-corrosion cracking susceptibility of additively manufactured 316L by ASTM G36-94

Abstract

Residual stress is a contributor to stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) and a common byproduct of additive manufacturing (AM). In this work, the relationship between residual stress and SCC susceptibility in laser powder bed fusion AM 316L stainless steel was studied through immersion in saturated boiling magnesium chloride per ASTM G36-94. The residual stress was varied by changing the sample height for the as-built condition and additionally by heat treatments at 600, 800, and 1200 °C to control, and in some cases reduce, residual stress. In general, all samples in the as-built condition showed susceptibility to SCC with the thinner, lower residual stress samples showing shallower cracks and crack propagation occurring perpendicular to melt tracks due to local residual stress fields. The heat-treated samples showed a reduction in residual stress for the 800 and 1200 °C samples. Both were free of cracks after >300 hours of immersion in MgCl2, while the 600 °C sample showed similar cracking to their as-built counterpart. Geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) density analysis indicates that the dislocation density may play a major role in the SCC susceptibility.
