Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the influence of the synthesis parameters on the corrosion resistance of 3D-printed Inconel 718 components. Samples were fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) with different angles of inclination. Corrosion tests were conducted by immersion for 1000 h in a 3.5% aqueous NaCl solution at 20 °C and 45 °C, and by the potentiodynamic polarization measurements. Detailed analysis of changes in morphology, chemical composition, and roughness of 3D prints was performed using scanning electron microscopy, combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and optical profilometry. To quantify the dissolution of alloy components during the long-term measurements, the post-corrosion solutions were analyzed using microwave plasma–atomic emission spectroscopy. The obtained results demonstrate that inclination angle significantly affects corrosion rate and electrochemical kinetics, with measurable differences in mass loss, Icorr values, and surface degradation morphology observed between orientations. The findings indicate that build orientation governs microstructural anisotropy and surface characteristics, which in turn influence corrosion susceptibility. The novelty of this work lies in the systematic and multi-method evaluation of inclination angle as an independent structural parameter controlling corrosion kinetics in PBF-LB/M-fabricated Inconel 718, providing new insight into structure–corrosion relationships in additively manufactured nickel-based superalloys.
