The pitting corrosion behavior of the austenitic stainless steel in aqueous chloride solution was investigated using electrochemical technique. Corrosion potential (Ecorr) measurement, potentiodynamic experiments, potential-hold experiments in the passive range, and microscopic examination were used for the evaluation of corrosion characteristics. The experimental parameters were chloride ion concentration, immersion time and anodic-hold potential. Ecorr measurements along with microscopic examinations suggest that in or above 3.5 % NaCl at pH 2 pitting took place on the surface in absence of applied potential after 6 hour immersion. The potentiodynamic experiment reveals that Ecorr and pitting potential (Epit) decreased and current density in the passive region increased with the increase of chloride ion concentrations. A linear relationship between Epit and chloride ion concentrations was found in this investigation. The analysis of the results suggests that six chloride ions are involved for the dissolution of iron ion in the pitting corrosion process of austenitic stainless steel.

Abstract. The pitting corrosion behavior of two kinds (W and Cu-free; W and Cu-bearing) of supermartensitic stainless steels (SMSS) were studied in CO2-saturated chloride solution with three chloric ion concentration: 21200, 50000, 100000ppm, and four different temperatures:19, 40, 60, 80°C by potentiodynamic polarization measurement. The results indicate that the pitting potential decreased with temperature increasing, and in a logarithmic relation with the chlorine concentration in both alloys. The pitting potential of supermartensitic stainless steel is increased by together adding tungsten and copper.

The Mechanism of 304 Stainless Steel Pitting Corrosion Was Researched in Chloride Ions Environment. the Metallographic Microstructure of Areas near the Pitting Corrosion and Far Away from the Pitting Corrosion Were Observed by the Metallographic Experiment;Cr Content of the Sample Was Determined by EDXRF, to Prove Chloride Ion Impact on the Element Cr of 304 Stainless Steel. Finally, Corrosion Rate of Specimens Was Determined by Piecewise Experiment Method to Prove Otherness for Corrosion Rate in Different Period of 304 Stainless Steel in Chloride Ions Environment.

Welded structures which set up in outdoor in snow-and cold-prone areas are exposed to severe environment, in which liquids containing Cl-chloride ions from the sea breeze and snow melting agents undergo freeze-thaw cycles during the winter. Cl-solutions are known to produce pitting corrosion in austenitic stainless steel. However, the relationship between the freeze-thaw environment and pitting corrosion occurred in welded austenitic stainless steel has not yet been clarified. In the present study, the effect of the freeze-thaw environment on pitting corrosion in welded austenitic stainless steel submersed in Cl-solutions is investigated. AISI 304 (X5CrNi18-10 in ISO/TS 15510, SUS304 in JIS G 4305) samples with bead-on-plate welding are used as specimens. The thickness of the specimen is 4 mm. The specimens are fully immersed in FeCl3 solution. The freeze-thaw environment is created by temperature cycling from 20°C to-20°C. In the meanwhile, residual stresses due to the welding process in stainless steel structures can significantly affect behavior of pitting corrosion as same as influence of sensitization. Authors carried out the welding simulation as the purpose of predicting the welding-heat history and residual stress near the welding bead. As a result, large-scale pitting corrosion occurs primarily in areas of high tensile residual stress and sensitive metallographic structures near weld beads in the freeze-thaw environment. Accelerated pitting corrosion is confirmed to have occurred as a result of concentration cell corrosion due to the local concentration of Cl-chlorine ion around a weld bead during freezing and thawing of the solution. Furthermore, based on your study it became clear that the center position of large-scale pitting corrosion is in agreement with the simulation result rather than the stress peak position by X rays measurement.

AbstractStainless steel (SS) is a very corrosion-resistant alloy used in different industrial plants because of its chemical and mechanical properties. However, the high chloride concentration in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) may promote both general corrosion and pitting corrosion. The pitting corrosion susceptibility in SS in chlorinated H2SO4 and the effect of Euphorbia echinus extract (EEE) on both general corrosion and pitting corrosion have been studied using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronoamperometry, cyclic voltammetry, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The pitting potential has been found to shift slightly in the presence of chloride ions (Cl−) in H2SO4. Also, pitting corrosion initiation has been demonstrated in the recorded chronoamperograms as a linear straight line having a positive slope. EEE has reduced the general corrosion and the inhibitor adsorption was found to follow the Langmuir isotherm. SEM micrographs showed that the tested inhibitor has efficiently acted on pitting corrosion for different concentrations of Cl−. Also, the kinetic findings were in good agreement with the surface analysis data. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrophotometric measurements provided more insights on the interaction between the chemical functional groups of the inhibitor and the SS surface.
