Stress Corrosion Cracking Detection of Sensitized Stainless Steel 304 in Chloride Media by Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)

Stress Corrosion Cracking of an Austenitic Stainless Steel in Nitrite-Containing Chloride Solutions

This article describes the susceptibility of 316L stainless steel to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in a nitrite-containing chloride solution. Slow strain rate testing (SSRT) in 30 wt. % MgCl₂ solution established SCC susceptibility, as evidenced by post-SSRT fractography. Addition of nitrite to the chloride solution, which is reported to have inhibitive influence on corrosion of stainless ste...

IMPROVING PITTING CORROSION OF 304 STAINLESS STEEL BY ELECTROPOLISHING TECHNIQUE

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...

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) Study of Modified Type-316L Stainless Steel (SS) as an Effective Biomaterial for Orthopedic Implant Applications

Volume 3 • Issue 4 • 1000e108 J Nanomed Nanotechol ISSN:2157-7439 JNMNT an open access journal For centuries, metals and alloys have been used in substitution for anatomical structures owing to their extraordinary mechanical properties [1]. Type 316L Stainless Steel (SS) is known to be widely used for implantation purposes in orthopedic surgery due to its corrosion resistance, effective cost an...

Optical Reflection Spectroscopy of Thick Corrosion Layers on 304 Stainless Steel

Corrosion resistant structural materials of both iron and nickel based alloys are used in the electric power industry for the construction of the coolant loops of both conventional and nuclear power generating stations. These materials, in the presence of high temperature (e.g. 287° C), high pH (e.g. 10.0 @ 20°C) water with dissolved hydrogen will oxidize and form corrosion films that are doubl...

Corrosion Behavior of Tin-Plated Carbon Steel and Aluminum in NaCl Solutions Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

The corrosion behavior of both tin-plated carbon steel and aluminum (Al 1100) in NaCl solutions were studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The study objectives were to compare their corrosion behavior in concentrated brine solution, establish the equivalent electrical circuit diagrams of their corrosion phenomena, and consequently develop steady-state corrosion models for ...
