Abstract A new duplex 25Cr-3Ni-7Mn-0.66 N alloy was prepared in a vacuum arc re-melting furnace and characterized by metallographic and EPMA methods. Its corrosion behavior was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and a Mott-Schottky (M-S) analysis in artificial seawater at room temperature and compared with those of super and normal commercial duplex stainless steel (SDSS and DSS). No significant difference in the open circuit potentials and pitting potentials was observed. Its passive film current density lies between those of SDSS and DSS. This was confirmed by EIS analysis. A pit attack was observed on the δ-phase for all duplex samples, because the PREN16 of the δ-phase was lower than that of the γ-phase. From the Mott-Schottky analysis, the passive films were found to be composed of bi-layer structures, a p-type semiconductor inner layer, and a n-type semiconductor outer layer. The degree of defect as well as the effect of nitrogen in passive film layer are discussed with respect to the point defect model.

Purpose This paper aims to study the effect of current density of hydrogen charging on the semiconductor properties and pitting initiation of 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) passivation film. Design/methodology/approach In this work, the 2205 DSS is pre-hydrogenated and passivated. Then, the passivation film is tested by electrochemical impedance method, Mott–Schottky curve method and dynamic potential scanning method. The influences of hydrogen on the properties of the passivation film and the corrosion behavior of the matrix were studied by analyzing the curves obtained in the electrochemical test. The surface of the passivation film after pre-hydrogenation and anodic polarization was observed by using the ultra-depth three-dimensional microscopy and the scanning electron microscope. The integrity, density and corrosion morphology of the passivation film were studied and discussed. Findings With the increase of the hydrogen current density, the growth of the passivation film is hindered, the concentrations of donor and acceptor in the film are increased, the conductivity of the passivation film increases. In the anodic polarization, the dimensional passive current density increases with the increase of the hydrogen current density, and the pitting potential is reversed, the more likely the sample is pitting. In general, hydrogen hinders the formation of the passive film on duplex stainless steel, which increases the concentration of point defects in the passive film. Finally, the passive film is easy to crack and pitting. Originality/value The performance of passive film is an important condition to influence the corrosion behavior of stainless steel. However, little research has been done on the effects of hydrogen on the electrochemistry and pitting sensitivity of 2205 DSS passivation films. The effect of hydrogen on semiconductor properties and pitting initiation of 2205 DSS passivation film is needed to be investigated.

In the present study, corrosion behavior of a diffusion bonded interface formed between micro-duplex stainless steel (MDSS) and a mixed titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) formed at 900°C for 60 minutes under 4MPa uniaxial pressure in vacuum has been investigated in 1M HCl and 1 M NaOH solutions using various electrochemical measurements such as Equilibrium Potential (EP), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Potentiodynamic Polarization (PD). For comparison, corrosion behavior of base metal alloys, MDSS and Ti6Al4V have also been also characterized. Bonded interface has been characterized in light optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy using back scattered electron. The layer wise σ phase and λ+FeTi phase mixture has been observed at the bond interface and the bond tensile strength and shear strength were ~556.4MPa and ~420.2MPa, respectively. The corrosion rates of the bonded joint are intermediate to the corrosion rates of MDSS and Ti6Al4V alloy.

The effect of Mn addition on mechanical property and corrosion behavior of hot rolled 19 % Cr duplex stainless steel was investigated. The ultimate tensile strength of specimen decreased from 950 to 840 MPa with increasing Mn content from 3.6 to 5.5 wt.%, and further decreased to 768MPa with Mn content addition up to 8.1 wt.%. The sample with the addition of 5.5 wt.% Mn exhibited the highest elongation up to 43%. The polarization result revealed that higher value of breakdown potentials Eb was obtained with increasing Mn content from 3.6 to 5.5 wt. %, but which decreased with increasing Mn content to 8.1 wt.%. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) spectra showed higher corrosion prevention capability was obtained due to enhancement of polarization resistance with increasing Mn content from 3.6 to 5.5 wt.%.

The electrochemical corrosion behavior of laser welded 2205 duplex stainless-steel in artificial seawater environment (3.5% NaCl solutions) with different acidity and alkalinity conditions (different pH values) was investigated using different techniques. Namely, capacitance measurements (Mott–Schottky approach), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The formation of pitting corrosion on the exposure surfaces of the tested duplex stainless-steel samples was investigated and confirmed by characterizing the surface morphology using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Based on the obtained results, a proportional relation has been found between pH value of the solution medium and the generated film resistance due to the processes of charge transfer, which directly affecting the pitting formation and its specifications. Since the film layer composition created on the duplex stainless-steel surface is changes depending on the pH value, it was found that different bilayer structure type was generated according to the acidity or alkalinity level. The presented bilayer is almost composed from metal oxides, such as iron oxide and chromium oxide, as confirmed by Raman Spectroscopy technique. As the pits size and its quantity increased with decreasing pH value, it can be concluded that the corrosion resistance property of the laser welded 2205 duplex stainless-steel sample is improved on the alkalinity direction of the solution. Vice versa, higher acidic solution has more ability for corrosion.

Sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) can be found in alkaline environments. Due to their metabolite products such as hydrogen sulphide, the corrosion behaviour of materials in alkaline environments may be affected by the presence of SRB. This study focuses on the investigation of corrosion behaviour of duplex stainless steel DSS 2205 in nutrient rich artificial seawater containing SRB species, Desulfovibrio vulgaris, at different alkaline conditions with pH range from 7 to 10. The open circuit potential value (OCP), sulphide level and pH were recorded daily. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to study the adhesion of SRB on the DSS 2205 surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to study the properties of the biofilm. Potentiodynamic polarization was used to study the corrosion behaviour of material. Inductively coupled plasma mass was used to measure the concentration of cations Fe, Ni, Mo, Mn in the experimental solution after 28 days. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used for surface analysis. The results showed that D. vulgaris are active in an alkaline environment with pH 7–9. However, at pH 10, D. vulgaris activity exhibited an 8-day lag. The corrosion rate of DSS 2205 at pH 9 was higher than at other pH environments due to a higher dissolved concentration of hydrogen sulphide.

The corrosion behavior of duplex stainless steel immersed in nutrient-rich simulated seawater without deep sea bacteria and with deep sea bacteria (Erythrobacter pelagi sp.nov) was studied. The effect of chloride ions and presence of deep sea bacteria on corrosion resistance was investigated. The occurrence of localized corrosion (Viz. pitting and crevice corrosion) was examined using visual inspection and SEM-EDX. Electrochemical impedance spectra were used to study the effects of deep sea bacteria on duplex stainless steel and inferences were made. Most significantly was the reduction of pitting resistance potential with increase in exposure time.
