摘要

In this study, the metallurgical, mechanical, and corrosion behaviour of wire-arc additively manufactured INCONEL 625 alloy was investigated. The specimens were subjected to single-aging and double-aging heat treatments and categorized as BM (as-built), AG1 (single-aging), and AG2 (double-aging). Texture analysis of the specimens revealed the microstructure, grain size distribution with mapping, and grain misorientation angles. Microhardness testing showed a maximum hardness of 307 HV for the AG2 specimens. Potentiodynamic polarization tests were conducted in 3.5% NaCl solution, while chronoamperometry tests were performed in 25% NaCl solution at a constant voltage of 1.3 V for 8 h. The results demonstrated that double-aged specimens (AG2) exhibited superior hardness and corrosion resistance compared to BM and AG1. Corroded surface characterization further substantiated the electrochemical findings, establishing the effectiveness of double-aging treatment in enhancing the performance of additively manufactured IN625 in chloride environments.
