Abstract
The effect of hydrogen charging on the microstructure and durability of traditional wrought and selective laser melted 316L stainless steels (SLMed 316L SSs) in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell was studied. The results showed that superior resistance to hydrogen damage was achieved by the SLMed 316L SS due to minimal transformation of austenite into martensite and that corrosion preferentially occurred at the martensite sites. The defect density of the passive film on the hydrogen-charged wrought 316 L SS was much higher than that of the SLMed counterpart, indicating the excellent passive film stability of the SLMed 316L SS.
