Abstract: This research delves into the passivation and electrochemical corrosion response of as-printed and annealed L-PBF NAB, comparing their performance with wrought NAB counterparts. The results unveil that the interplay between microstructural uniformity, higher aluminum content, residual stress, and the presence of martensitic nanotwins substantially enhances the integrity of the corrosion film and improves the uniform corrosion resistance of as-fabricated NAB. Nonetheless, this combination adversely impacts the localized corrosion resistance. Remarkably, annealing, despite its detrimental effect on passivation and uniform corrosion behavior, ameliorates resistance to localized attacks. In contrast, the wrought equivalents exhibit inferior electrochemical corrosion performance across all experimental conditions. [Display omitted] • Altered electrochemical corrosion response after prolonged NaCl immersion. • Pseudo-passivity observed in all NAB samples subjected to long-term exposure. • As-printed NAB highly resistant to uniform corrosion, yet vulnerable to localized attack. • Annealing improves localized corrosion behavior of as-built NAB. • Similar chronovoltammetry response regardless of heat treatment and processing route in NAB.
