Stable Pitting Corrosion of Stainless Steel as Diffusion-controlled Dissolution Process with a Sharp Moving Electrode Boundary
نویسندگان
چکیده
This contribution is devoted to explanation and prediction of corrosion pit propagation or stable pit growth, governed by ion transport properties in electrolytic solutions by deriving the (3D) mass balance for a body hosting a sharp dissolution front which separates the solid electrode from liquid electrolyte. The model is completed by Fick’s law of diffusion, governing the behavior of the dissolved metal ions.

Several surface modification techniques such as ion implantation, surface laser melting, have been employed to improve pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Electropolishing is a technique in which the surface roughness is eliminated through a selective electrochemical dissolution. The effect of electropolishing on pitting corrosion of 304 stainless steel (SS) was investigated employ...

AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel with different grain sizes of 0.5 -12 μm was obtained through the martensitic process. Corrosion behavior of different samples was investigated in a 0.5M HCl solution using open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. Also, the correlation between the grain size and pitting corrosion resistance was as...
متن کاملAtomic-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 ...
