Abstract

Nickel aluminium bronze alloy specimens were produced using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and subjected to heat treatment to understand their corrosion behaviour when exposed to a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Electrochemical analysis, including impedance spectroscopy and polarization curves, was performed to characterize the samples after 30 days of immersion. The findings reveal that the as-built samples exhibit superior corrosion resistance compared to the heat-treated samples, primarily attributed to the lower presence of intermetallic phases, which hinder the alloy's passivation process.
