Abstract

This study investigates the influence of heat treatments on the corrosion behaviour of CuSn10 tin bronze, additively manufactured using Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). LPBF enables the creation of finely structured, anisotropic microstructures, whose corrosion behaviour is not yet well understood. After production, specimens were heat-treated at 320 °C, 650 °C, and in a two-stage treatment at 800 °C and 400 °C, followed by hardness and microstructure analysis. Corrosion tests were conducted using linear polarisation, salt spray, and immersion tests. The results show that heat treatments at 320 °C and 650 °C have no significant effect on the corrosion rate, while the two-stage treatment shows a slight improvement in corrosion resistance. Differences in microstructure and hardness were observed, with higher treatment temperatures leading to grain growth and tin precipitates. The formation of a passive protective layer was detected after 30 h of OCP measurement. Results from other studies on corrosion behaviour were partially reproducible. Differences could be attributed to varying chemical compositions and manufacturing parameters. These findings contribute to the understanding of the effects of heat treatments on the corrosion resistance of additively manufactured tin bronze and provide important insights for future applications in corrosive environments.
