Microstructure and Corrosion Resistance in Bimetal Materials of Q345 and 308 Steel Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing

The microstructure and corrosion resistance of samples fabricated by Q345 and 308 bimetallic feedings using two kinds of processes of wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) was observed and compared with that of sample manufactured by a single feeding wire of Q345 or 308. The results show that the i...

Description
Summary:The microstructure and corrosion resistance of samples fabricated by Q345 and 308 bimetallic feedings using two kinds of processes of wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) was observed and compared with that of sample manufactured by a single feeding wire of Q345 or 308. The results show that the interface between the Q345 and 308 had no defects and metallurgical bonding. The hardness of bimetal Q345/308 additive manufacturing samples was higher than that of Q345 or 308 single wire additive manufacturing. The sample made of Q345 single wire had serious electrochemical corrosion, while the sample made of 308 single wire had pitting corrosion. The pitting corrosion of the sample reinforced by bimetal Q345/308 feeding wires was improved.
