Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steels at Air-Chloride Solution Interface

Study of the Corrosion Resistance of Type 304L and 316 Austenitic Stainless Steels in Acid Chloride Solution

The corrosion resistance of type 304L and 316 austenitic stainless steels in 2M H2SO4 at 0-1.5%NaCl concentrations was studied through potentiodynamic polarization technique and optical microscopy analysis. The corrosion rate, pitting potential, passivation potential and surface morphology of both steel where significantly altered by the Clion concentration, alloy composition and metallurgical ...

Study of the Corrosion Resistance of Austenitic Stainless Steels during Conversion of Waste to Biofuel

The paper deals with the corrosion behavior of stainless steels as candidate materials for biofuel production plants by liquefaction process of the sorted organic fraction of municipal solid waste. Corrosion tests were carried out on AISI 316L and AISI 304L stainless steels at 250 °C in a batch reactor during conversion of raw material to bio-oil (biofuel precursor), by exposing specimens eithe...

Stress Corrosion Cracking Resistance of Martensitic Stainless Steels for Transmutation Applications

Atomic-scale decoration for improving the pitting corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steels

Stainless steels are susceptible to the localized pitting corrosion that leads to a huge loss to our society. Studies in the past decades confirmed that the pitting events generally originate from the local dissolution in MnS inclusions which are more or less ubiquitous in stainless steels. Although a recent study indicated that endogenous MnCr2O4 nano-octahedra within the MnS medium give rise ...

The Effect of Chloride Ions Concentration on the Electrochemical Behavior of AISI 410 Stainless Steels in Simulated Concrete Pore Solution

The effect of chloride ions concentration on the electrochemical behavior of AISI 410 stainless steel in the simulated concrete pore (0.1 M NaOH + 0.1 M KOH) solution was investigated by various electrochemical methods such as Potentiodynamic polarization, Mott–Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that increasing chlori...
