Abstract [en]
Selective laser melting (SLM) based processing of Mo-based samples is challenging due to solidification cracking. We here demonstrate that the addition of 2 wt% MoS2 to the Mo feedstock markedly improves crack mitigation of SLM-processed Mo/MoS2/Mo2S3 composite micro-lattice structures (SLM-Mo/ Mo(x)S(x+1)). Crack inhibition is suggested to be a result of Mo2S3 formation, decreased lattice strain (0.04 4%), and a decrease in accumulated residual stresses. The increased values of polarization resistance from 42.3 and 19.2 kU cm2 to 437 and 78.2 kU cm2, respectively verified the hindering effect of the composition on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and surface oxidation cracking. However, an increased corrosion current density, from 1.22 to 10.2 mA/cm2, and cathodic Tafel constant, from 175 to 260.5 mV, confirmed the decreased polarization resistance and occurrence of different types of corrosion such as SCC and pitting. The strategy to add 2 wt% MoS2 to the Mo feedstock enables the fabrication of hightemperature micro-lattice structure components with improved corrosion resistance properties applicable in e.g., electronic, power semiconductor heat sinks, offshore-, aerospace-, defense-, or particularly novel sodium-ion energy storage applications.
