Abstract

The impact of nanosecond laser irradiation on the electrochemical corrosion resistance of 17-4PH stainless steel in 3%NaCl solution was investigated by means of electrochemical impedance analysis, surface corrosion morphology observation, and passivation film valence state testing. The results show that the steel after being subjected to laser irradiation with optimal processing parameters presents pitting potential and impedance higher than those after being passivated in 30%HNO₃solution i.e. conventional passivation. Among others, the concentration of point defects in the passivation film of the former was the lowest. while its Cr/Fe ratio was the highest. These phenomena may be attributed to that the nanosecond laser irradiation can promote the preferential oxidation of Cr to form chromium oxide through instantaneous high-temperature oxidation, while reducing surface defects and roughness, optimizing the passivation film structure, and significantly improving the pitting resistance of stainless steel, so that effectively improving the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.

Key words: 17-4PH stainless steel nanosecond pulse laser orthogonal experiment electrochemical testing corrosion resistance
