Fig. 2: Pitting corrosion of as-built surfaces.

From: Critical role of slags in pitting corrosion of additively manufactured stainless steel in simulated seawater

Fig. 2

a Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, taken with secondary electron, of the as-built surfaces after polarization testing. Insets highlight various pits at the surfaces. Red and blue arrows point at pits. b, c SEM energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy elemental maps for the top and side surfaces, respectively. Elemental maps for Fe, Cr, and Ni are presented in Supplementary Fig. 1c and d, respectively.
