Abstract Details

2024, Master of Science in Engineering, Youngstown State University, Department of Civil/Environmental and Chemical Engineering.
A longitudinal study in corrosion was performed on tensile-elongation dog-bones, created using 3D-printed stainless steel. The effects of exposure to an acidic environment were investigated regarding mass-loss, tensile and yield strength, modulus of elasticity, profilometry of pits and defects, and microscopy of fracture-sites. The SS316L specimens were manufactured using different print-directions, specifically overlapping unidirectional or rotated bidirectional for each layer by an additive manufacturing unit, the Mazak VC-500/5X AM HWD. The novel aspect of this research is focusing on the differences that the path the hot-wire, direct energy deposition, print-head has on its corrosion characteristics, as opposed to only focusing on the printing-parameters. The goal was to determine what printing-directions and methods were best for resisting corrosion. The research outlines the process of preparing samples for controlled weight-loss in HCl as well as the methods used to measure the mechanical properties. This allows for the results to be repeated if desired. Upon thoroughly reviewing the data and drawing connections where applicable, it was determined within the test samples that unidirectional print-directions yielded better mass-loss and mechanical attributes than bidirectional printing. It was found that some print directions, namely 90°, which is perpendicular to the printing door, performed notably better than other directions such as 0° or 45°.
