In the present work, microstructure and corrosion behaviour of wire arc additive manufactured (WAAM) AA2024 alloy thin wall structure are investigated. Three distinctive zones in WAAM structure, including melt pool zone (MPZ), border (MPB) heat affected (HAZ). Localized initiates at multi-phase lamellar eutectic via de-alloying S-phase (Al2CuMg) intermetallics. MPB is most susceptible to locali...
