N2 - Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is a significant concern in the engineering and manufacturing industries as it can lead to sudden and catastrophic failures. Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a popular fabrication method due to its ability to produce complex geometries with high accuracy and repeatability. However, there is limited research on the SCC susceptibility of additively manufactured 304 stainless steels. This paper explores the susceptibility of additively manufactured 304 SS to SCC. The results suggest that its microstructure and processing conditions affect the SCC susceptibility of additively manufactured 304 SS. The layer-by-layer build process of AM can result in different microstructures and residual stresses compared to conventional manufacturing methods. These differences can affect the susceptibility of 304 SS to SCC. In conclusion, the results suggest that a better understanding of the relationship between microstructure, processing conditions, and environmental factors is essential to minimize the risk of SCC in additively manufactured 304 SS components.
