Direct joining of SS316L and Ti6Al4V is challenging due to their metallurgical incompatibility and the formation of brittle phases. One of the potential solutions cited in the literature is the fabrication of the joint through interlayers in the composition SS316L-Fe-Cr-V-Ti6Al4V. In this thesis, we experimentally determined the parameters of the DED-LB process and produced deposits in the composition of SS316L and Fe on the SS304L substrate with individual deposit heights of 0,35 mm and 1,0 mm. Using SEM/EDS analysis, the chemical composition and corrosion resistance as well as the microhardness of the deposits were characterized. Deposits with a height of 0,35 mm exhibited higher dilution and more pronounced Fe–SS316L intermixing with elemental contents of 12,2Cr; 7,1Ni and 0,3Mo even at locations close to the surface of the Fe deposit. These deposits also showed better corrosion resistance. In contrast, the 1,0 mm deposits exhibited less pronounced intermixing, resulting in lower corrosion resistance and lower microhardness.
