Abstract A laboratory study was made of the intergranular corrosion behavior of Types 316 and 316L stainless steel in 14 different acid environments. Included were nitric, nitric-hydrofluoric, acetic, citric, sulfuric, lactic, oxalic, formic and phosphoric acids. Results of this study showed that sensitized or welded Type 316L had excellent resistance to intergranular attack in all of the acid media except nitric. This was true despite the presence of a continuous network of sigma phase in the grain boundaries of the sensitized steel. In contrast, Type 316 having a continuous grain boundary network of chromium carbides underwent severe intergranular corrosion in 12 of the 14 environments studied. 3.2.2

Potentiodynamic Polarization Curves

Pitting resistance of air cold plasma-oxidation 316L stainless steel was evaluated by exposing the specimens into a ferric chloride solution. The results indicate that the pitting resistance of plasma-oxidized specimens improved obviously. Potentiodynamic polarization curves were measured to study its corrosion behavior. The corrosion mechanism was also interpreted by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES).The results reveal that the oxide layer formed by the plasma treatment is much thicker than that without treatment and is double-deck structure, which leads to the change of EIS characteristic of sample surface.

Waste Handling

There is a need to destroy both military and civilian hazardous waste and urgency, mandated by public concern over traditional waste handling methodologies, to safe and efficient alternative technologies. One very effective process for the destruction of such waste is supercritical water oxidation (SCWO). Nevertheless, corrosion of the materials of fabrication is a serious concern. This work intends to obtain the fundamental data for developing the corrosion resistant steel for the construction of SCWO system. The effects of various factors on the corrosion resistance of flat, welded, and U-bend 316L stainless steels in Trimsol solution were studied. Corroded product on surface was composed of multi-layer with oxides and salts, and dealloying was observed. Major corrosion phenomena of 316L stainless steel under SCWO condition were intergranular corrosion, pitting corrosion, SCC, and erosion corrosion. This work focused on the elucidation of corrosion mechanism of 316L stainless steel in SCWO environment.

The results of experimental study on intergranular corrosion of sensitized 316L stainless steel by mass loss measurement and metallographic inspection method through boiling nitric acid experiments show that: the intergranular corrosion behavior of sensitized 316L stainless steel is mainly divided into three stages: initiation stage, stable stage and rapid development stage, the corrosion rate added with the experimental time extension; the degree of intergranular corrosion has a direct relationship with material grain size, large grain regions have a small degree of intergranular corrosion; and small grain regions have a large degree of intergranular corrosion, even leading to pitting corrosion.

Intergranular Corrosion Resistance

316L stainless steel is a common material in nuclear power equipments. Intergranular corrosion is a hidden and destructive mode of material failure. It is important to study the intergranular corrosion behavior of the 316L to ensure the safety of nuclear power equipments. A series of research has been conducted on properties of 316L including the microstructure of the base metal and the weldment and that under the condition of intergranular corrosion. Through the experiments, an intuitive understanding of the microstructure of the base metal and the weldment has been established. Moreover, the intergranular corrosion resistance can be reflected by the condition of grain separation on metallograph. In resistance of intergranular corrosion, by comparison, the heat affected zone was the worst and the weld joint performed quite well. Thus, the heat effect in welding process must be controlled to improve the intergranular corrosion resistance of the equipment.
