A Corrosion Study of Grain-Refined 304L Stainless Steels Produced by the Martensitic Process
Authors
Abstract:
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 assessed by cyclic polarization experiments and immersion tests combined with optical microscopy. The potentiodynamic polarization results demonstrated that grain refinement had little influence on the corrosion potential and corrosion current density. However, cyclic polarization tests showed that the ultrafine grained steel (500 nm grain size) exhibited superior pitting resistance, as compared to the steel with the larger grain size (1- 12 μm). This behavior was confirmed by immersion tests in the 0.5M HCl for 48 hours, thereby showing that the size and the number of pits were decreased by increasing the grain size. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results also revealed that grain refinement enhanced the stability of the passive film of 304L stainless steel.

In the present study, the effect of time and base metal microstructure on the Transient Liquid Phase (TLP) bonding of 304L stainless steel was studied. TLP was performed at 1050 0C for 5 and 60 minutes on the coarse grain austenitic and martensitic microstructure using BNi-2 interlayer. To prepare martensitic microstructure, as-received 304L was rolled at -15 0C up to 80% rolling reduction. TEM...

Grain Boundary Oxidation and the Chromium- Depletion Theory of Intercrystalline Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steels
High temperature microscopy during oxidation of austenitic stainless steels shows that an increased rate of oxidation is found in a narrow zone along grain boundaries where chromium carbides have been precipitated. This lends support to the chromium-depletion theory of intercrystatline corrosion of these steels. Approximate solution of the appropriate diffusion problem shows good agreement with...
