Pitting Resistance of Pure Fe-17%Cr Alloys: Consequences for Localized Corrosion Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pitting corrosion was observed on a high purity Fe-17Cr alloy in 0.02M NaCl solution of pH 6.6 at high anodic potential (+ 550 mVISCE). Potentiostatic electrochemical noise measurements were performed, revealing the presence of a characteristic current noise below stable pitting, differing strongly from that observed 011 a series of AISI 430 type 17% Cr stainless steels, with respect to the frequency of occurrence and shape of the metastable events. These rather s~nall, infrequent and long-lived events exhibit a sudden increase followed by a slow decrease with a decay time 100 s. Arguments are given in favor of a pit initiation process occ\mmng at some weak points of the passive film, distinct fro111 scratches. In the light of the present study, analysis of previous results obtained on some AISI 430 type inclusio~is contair~i~~g industrial stainless steels reveal that. after a certain polarization time, pitting may also occur by local breakdown of the passive film.

Five non-precious Ni-Co based alloys were analyzed with respect to their corrosion behaviour. The correlation between the amount of the elements Cr, Mo, V and the corrosion behaviour, expressed by the PREN (pitting resistance equivalent number) index in the case of the allied steels, was extended for Ni-Cr and Co-Cr dental alloys characterization. Open circuit potential, corrosion current densi...

In this study, the pitting behaviour of a new corrosion-resistant alloy steel (CR) is compared to that of low-carbon steel (LC) in a simulated concrete pore solution with a chloride concentration of 5 mol/L. The electrochemical behaviour of the bars was characterised using linear polarisation resistance (LPR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The pitting profiles were detected b...

Binary titanium alloys with the beta-stabilizing elements of Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn and Pd (up to 30%) and Ag (up to 45%) were examined through metallographic observation and X-ray diffractometry to determine whether beta phases that are advantageous for dental use could be retained. Corrosion behavior was also investigated electrochemically and discussed thermodynamically. Some cast alloys with Co...

The electrochemical and corrosion behaviour of Al-6061, Al-4.5%Cu and Al-7.5%Cu alloys were studied in 0.50 M KSCN solution at 25 C. Open-circuit potential, Tafel polarization and ICP-AES measurements were used to study the uniform corrosion process on the surfaces of the tested alloys. Cyclic polarization measurements were employed for pitting corrosion studies. Obtained results were compared ...
