Hydrogen entering into steel affects its electrochemical properties and may enhance the susceptibility to environmental degradation. The present work has been aimed at further clarifying the effect of hydrogenation on the corrosion behaviour and passivity of highly-alloyed stainless steels. The results were discussed by taking into account hydrogen charged samples and without hydrogen. The corrosion resistance to pitting was qualified with the cyclic polarization curves. The conclusion is that hydrogen may deteriorated the passive film stability and corrosion resistance to pitting of highly-alloyed stainless steel. Furthermore, the presence of hydrogen in passive films increases corrosion current density, decreasing the potential of the film breakdown and repassivation potential. It was also found that the degree of susceptibility to hydrogen-enhanced pitting corrosion was dependent on the type of steel.

Abstract MAGIVAL MG2 is a free machining ferritic stainless steel grade with the same high machinability and corrosion resistance as type 430F, but offering a higher magnetic permeability and lower coercive force than MG1 (Alloy Digest SS-1159, October 2013). Magival is a group of easily workable ferritic stainless steels developed for magnetic applications where high permeability and low coercive force are required. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: SS-1161. Producer or source: Valbruna Stainless Steel.

<p class="AMSmaintext1"><span lang="EN-GB">Following nickel and molybdenum significant price increase, nowadays the stainless steel market is moving toward an increasing use of ferritic stainless steel instead of austenitic stainless and therefore to the development of advanced ferritic stainless steels grades aimed to substitute the more expensive austenitic materials in all applications allowing it. Super-ferritic stainless steels are higher chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo) steels with properties similar to those of standard ferritic alloys. Such elements increase high temperature and corrosion resistance in strong environment. This paper deal about the corrosion resistance of super-ferritic stainless steels with a Cr content ranging from 21% to 24%. </span></p>
