The Effect of Laser Shock Processing on Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel AISI 316L

Abstract:

The paper presents the effect of laser shock processing on stainless steel 316L corrosion resistance. The samples were laser welded and mechanical treated using a Nd:YAG laser with a 1064 nm wavelength, and two different pulse density: 900 pulse/cm² and 1600 pulse/cm². After the laser shock processing, the samples were subjected to a seawater solution for corrosion testing. The curves obtained were statistically modeled using Stern-Geary equation. One may observe that the corrosion speed of the LSP samples treated with 900 pulse/cm² is eight times higher than the corrosion speed of the LSP samples treated with 1600 pulse/cm².
