The distributions of corrosion potential and galvanic current of 304 stainless steel under a NaCl droplet were studied by using the wire beam electrode (WBE). It was found that the distributions of the electrochemical parameters were heterogeneous with isolated anodic and cathodic zones appeared randomly. During the corrosion process, the polarity of some anodes changed with the evolution of time. The localized corrosion rate and heterogeneity increased firstly, and then decreased afterward with the increase of time, which can be attributed to the cooperative effects of the aggressive ions and the corrosion products.

Exposure of a 304 stainless steel sample to an inductively coupled low pressure radio frequency (RF) nitrogen plasma leads to the formation of a nitriding layer. The protective properties of this layer are investigated by electrochemical methods. The corrosion potential of the steel in an aqueous solution depends on the working parameters of the plasma such as the time exposure and the distance between the steel sample and the high voltage (HV) coil of the treatment reactor.
