This study compares the localized (exterior) corrosion susceptibility of chromized steel to bench-mark ferritic stainless steels for automotive exhaust applications. Continuous near-neutral salt fog exposure (ASTM B117) was used for this purpose. Corrosion susceptibility was determined using mass loss measurements coupled with a post exposure metallographic examination. Complementary potentiodynamic polarization measurements were made in the bulk salt solution to help interpret the relative performance. The elevated Cr content provided by the chromizing surface treatment provides comparable corrosion resistance to the more highly alloyed ferritic stainless steels studied. The major factor affecting localized corrosion susceptibility is the formation of rust deposits, which act as effective pit-like corrosion initiation sites.

Ferritic stainless steels have nowadays been used as materials for interconnectors in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) at intermediate temperatures (800°C). Their degradation in contact with dry synthetic biogas used instead of other fuel gas has already been studied. In such biogas atmosphere, humidity may play an important role. The objective of this study is therefore to understand the effect of H2O on the corrosion kinetics of the ferritic stainless steels type AISI441 (18CrTiNb) under synthetic biogas (70%CH4and 30%CO2) mixed with 3%H2O. The thermodynamic analysis by FactSage was used to determine the partial pressure of oxygen and the activity of carbon in the humid biogas. The results showed that the partial pressure of oxygen is in the range 10–24.8to 10–21.2bar for temperatures between 600-800°C and that the formation of solid carbon can occur in these conditions. This was not different compared with the conditions in dry biogas. These conditions lead to the stability of some important oxides such as Cr2O3and Cr-Mn spinel and to carbon deposition and/or carbide formation. The surface morphology of 441 subjected to humid biogas showed oxide scale composed mainly of Cr2O3topped with Cr-Mn spinel. Some carbide such as Cr7C3was found in chromia scale. Kinetic experiments under both dry and humid biogas at temperatures between 600 and 800°C showed linear weight changes. Arrhenius law was followed and the rate-determining steps were identified as parallel oxidation and carburization limited by oxide-gas interface reactions.

Usually niobium is added in ferritic stainless steels to avoid chromium carbides precipitation and then to improve corrosion resistance and to avoid embrittlemet. This study shows that a low Nb stabilization makes recrystallization nucleation much faster and prevents incomplete recrystallization. A qualitative interpretation, based on interaction with precipitates, is proposed and explains the main features of the softening kinetics as well as the microstructures obtained. Above a specific magnetizing frequency, the deformed state led to smaller losses than the recrystallized state. These results are believed to be attributed to a grain size effect. This leads to soft magnetic properties that makes 17%CrNb ferritic stainless steels a very interesting solution for the market of electromagnetic injection. Improving response-time of fuel injection valves is a great challenge for automotive industry in order to enhance car engine efficiency and to limit noxious gas emission.

Stainless steels are extensively applied in diverse industries due to their exceptional corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of alloy stainless steels (316L austenitic and 430Ti ferritic stainless steel) was studied in neutral chloride solutions with chloride concentrations of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6%. Their general and localized corrosion resistance were compared and discussed in addition to their passivation characteristics. Corrosion rate results obtained showed 430Ti exhibited slightly greater general resistance to chloride attack compared to 316L. Further investigation showed 316L steel exhibited higher resistance to localized corrosion attack to its resilient passive film. 430Ti exhibited cathodic and anodic passivation compared to 316L which only exhibited anodic passivation. Optical microscopic analysis showed the presence of small, superficial corrosion pits on 316L steel compared to 430Ti, which exhibited deep corrosion pits.

Although called stainless steels, austenitic steels are sensitive to localized corrosion, namely pitting, crevice, and intergranular form. Seventeen grades of steel were tested for localized corrosion. Steels were also tested in general corrosion and in galvanic couplings (steels–precious alloys) used in watchmaking applications. The evaluations have been carried out in accordance with the ASTM standards which specifically concern the forms of corrosion namely, general (B117-97, salt fog test), pitting (G48-11, FeCl3), crevice (F746-87) and intergranular (A262-15, Strauss chemical test and G108-94, Electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation test). All tests revealed sensitivity to corrosion. We have noticed that the transverse face is clearly more sensitive than the longitudinal face, in the direction of rolling process. The same conclusion has been drawn from the tests of nickel release. It should be pointed out that, despite the fact that the grade of steel is in conformity with the classification standards, the behavior is very different from one manufacturer to another, due to parameters dependent on the production process, such as casting volume, alloying additions, and deoxidizing agents. The quantities of nickel released are related to the operations involved in the manufacturing process. Heat treatments reduce the quantities of nickel released. The surface state has little influence on the release. The hardening procedures increase the quantities of nickel released. The quantities of released nickel are influenced by the inclusionary state and the existence of the secondary phases in the steel structure. Another aspect is related to the strong dispersion of results concerning nickel release and corrosion behavior of raw materials.
