The effects of morphology of ferrite and non-metallic inclusions on corrosion resistance of as-cast 304 stainless steel (304 SS) were investigated. With the decrease in quenching temperature from 1723 K to 1648 K, the different microstructures of the as-cast 304 SS were obtained as the following series: austenitic-lathy δ ferrite, austenitic-colony δ ferrite and austenitic-blocky δ ferrite, and the average inclusion size increased. The electrochemical results show that the sample with the microstructure of austenitic- lathy δ ferrite and smaller size inclusions had a higher corrosion tendency and the lower pitting resistance. Furthermore, the effect of morphology and content of ferrite on corrosion resistance was greater than that of inclusion size under the current experimental conditions. Therefore, a promising method was developed to improve the corrosion resistance of as-cast 304 SS by changing the solidification process.

Research on the effect of ion implantation on the corrosion behaviour of metals has been carried out for years, but some difficulties arise in the comparison of the obtained results due to variations in experimental conditions (alloys, surface preparation, doses, experimental techniques...). This work tries to overcome those differences, presenting the effect of several elements (Ce+, N+, Cr+ and Cr+ N+) implanted in similar conditions on the pitting corrosion resistance of AISI 430 stainless steel. Potentiodynamic measurements in 1M NaCl demonstrate the beneficial effect of all the implanted elements, showing that Ce+ is the less efficient ion, while Cr+ N+ co-implantation gives the best results in terms of localized attack resistance. Pitting morphology is explained in terms of the XPS and GIXRD data that allow chemical and structural characterization of the implanted layer. Those results help to enlighten the protection mechanisms involved in the considered implantations.

In the present paper the influence of the addition of MoSi2particles on the microstructure and pitting corrosion behaviour of laser cladding Co based alloy coatings deposited on 304 stainless steel substrate has been reported. The coating microstructure was investigated by SEM, OM, XRD and EPMA etc.. And the pitting corrosion resistance of coating was evaluated in the 3.5% NaCl solution. The results showed that: (1) The microstructure is fined by increasing MoSi2percentage. And the coating microstructure evolved from dendrites and interdendritic eutectics to various faceted dendrites with the bamboo leaf, flower, or butterfly morphology, when the MoSi2content is from 0~20% to 30~40%; (2) the (Epit-Eprot) of Co based alloy/MoSi2composite coating was lower than that of Co based alloy, and which presented higher self-repairing capability. The pitting potential Epitof Co +(0~20wt.%) MoSi2cladding coatings is higher than that of stainless steel, the pitting corrosion resistance is enhanced; When more MoSi2(30wt.%) was added, the pitting corrosion resistance decreases due to microstructure inhomogeneity and exiting of inclusion.

Abstract Present study describes results of research conducted on sinters manufactured from a powdered AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel modified with an addition of boron-rich master alloy. The main aim was to study impact of the master alloy addition on a corrosion resistance of sinters in 0.5M water solution of NaCl. In order to achieve it, a potentiodynamic method was used. Corrosion tests results were also supplemented with a microstructures of near-surface areas. Scanning electron microscope pictures of a corroded surfaces previously exposed to the corrosive environment were taken and compared. It was successful to increase the corrosion resistance of AISI 316L sinters modified with master alloy. It was also successful in particular samples to obtain a densified superficial layer not only on the sinters sintered in the hydrogen but also on sinters sintered in the vacuum. No linear correlation between presence of the densified superficial layer and the enhanced corrosion resistance was noticed.

Nowadays, welding of dissimilar metals has become significant. In this process, a number of parameters including but not limited to type of electrode, amount of current, preheating temperature, and welding rate, that are essential to be taken into account. For welding of dissimilar metals, various methods are exploited including shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The stimulus for studying welding of 304L stainless steel to pure copper originates from difficulties in joining copper parts of           water-circulating molds to their steel part. In this study, the welding is performed on plates of steel and copper using SMAW, GTAW and combined SMAW+GTAW welding methods with    EL-CuMn2, ENiCrMo-6 and ER70S-4 electrodes. In order to investigate the microstructure and corrosion resistance behavior of welds, the samples were characterized using microstructural study and polarization test. It was observed that among all four welding methods, only combined SMAW+GTAW welding process resulted in successful joint between 304L stainless steel and copper. Both obtained joints possess suitable microstructure and corrosion resistance.
