The present study had one broad objective – to systematically characterize effects of overall grain boundary nature on localized corrosion, intergranular corrosion (IGC) and stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC), of type 304 (UNS S 30400) austenitic stainless steel. Various combinations of cold rolling and solution annealing, were applied to alter relative the relative concentrations of ‘special’ or low CSL boundaries and to relate them with the local corrosion resistance, IGC and IGSCC, after respective sensitization treatments. It has been shown that both extreme high and low concentration of random (or high energy) boundaries can provide an effective means of control for localized corrosion, degree of sensitization (DOS), IGC and IGSCC, - the improvement in localized corrosion resistance at extreme grain boundary randomization being more effective.

In this study, low temperature plasma carburizing technology as one of the surface hardening techniques has been applied to improve the mechanical properties of 304 austenitic stainless steel. Several low temperature process parameters were studied to focus on the structure and properties of the carburized layer. The results shows that carburizing at 450°C, C3H8: H2 = 1: 40, carburizing time 10h could get a better white layer, a better wear resistance and a reasonable corrosion resistance, which proved to be the optimal hardening treatment.

Optimum parameters in the thermomechanical treatment during grain boundary engineering (GBE) were investigated for improvement of intergranular corrosion resistance of type 304 austenitic stainless steel. The grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) was examined by orientation imaging microscopy (OIM). The intergranular corrosion resistance was evaluated by electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (EPR) and ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid tests. The sensitivity to intergranular corrosion was reduced by the thermomechanical treatment and indicated a minimum at a small roll-reduction. The frequency of coincidence-site-lattice (CSL) boundaries indicated a maximum at the small pre-strain. The ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid test showed much smaller corrosion rate in the thermomechanical-treated specimen than in the base material for long time sensitization. The optimum thermomechanical treatment introduced a high frequency of CSL boundaries and the clear discontinuity of corrosive random boundary network in the material, and resulted in the high intergranular corrosion resistance arresting the propagation of intergranular corrosion from the surface.
