摘要

A metal inert gas welding-based wire arc additive manufacturing process with coaxial powder feeding was used to fabricate 316L/WC composite thin-walled structures. Adjusting the powder feeding rate (0-0.3 r/min) altered the WC content in the composite, refining the grain size from 127.6 to 112.0 μm and reducing texture intensity along the Z-direction from 6.97 to 2.60. Mechanical properties improved, with tensile strength increasing from 552.73 to 738.95 MPa and hardness from 216.78 to 265.43 HV. Microstructural analysis (SEM, TEM) identified dispersion strengthening, grain refinement, and carbide precipitation ((Fe, W)6C, Fe3 W3C, Cr23C6) as key strengthening mechanisms. Corrosion resistance exhibited a nonlinear trend: WC agglomeration and interfacial microgalvanic effects reduced corrosion performance, while uniform particle distribution and improved metallurgical bonding enhanced passive film stability.
