Room Temperature Corrosion Behavior of Selective Laser Melting (SLM)-Processed Ni-Fe Superalloy (Inconel 718) in 3.5% NaCl Solution at Different pH Conditions: Role of Microstructures
Inconel 718 (UNS N07718) is a nickel-base superalloy containing iron that is used at cryogenic temperatures (arctic pipe components) and at high temperatures (gas turbines). This alloy is also used in off-shore oil drilling due to its high overall strength and resistance to corrosion. Inconel 718 co...

Inconel 718 (UNS N07718) is a nickel-base superalloy containing iron that is used at cryogenic temperatures (arctic pipe components) and at high temperatures (gas turbines). This alloy is also used in off-shore oil drilling due to its high overall strength and resistance to corrosion. Inconel 718 components are created by a selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing route and result in isotropic fine-grained microstructures with metastable phases (such as Laves phases) that are not usually present in conventional manufacturing processes.
