Boiler Steels undergo severe degradation in corrosion resistance due to oxide scale formation at elevated temperatures. In this study, the comparative hot oxidation and hot corrosion resistance of wire arc additive manufactured SS 308L (WAAM 308L) was examined in hot air and Na2SO4–60% V2O5 molten salt environments at 700 °C. The corrosion resistance at elevated temperature was analysed using thermo-kinetic curves, corrosion products, and morphology of the oxides. The hot oxidation kinetics revealed that WAAM processed SS 308L specimens has excellent resistance and the weight gain reached 3.10 mg/cm2 with thinner oxide scale formation. Hot corrosion kinetics of WAAM processed SS 308L specimens highlighted the higher weight gain (37.0 mg/cm2) in molten salt environment and is attributed to the acceleration of oxide scale formation by the salts at elevated temperatures. Also, the development of Ni3V2O8 and Fe2O3 along with the depletion of Cr2O3 significantly influenced the corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. The findings of this study reveal the potential of WAAM to produce customized parts for high-temperature applications.
