Abstract. The pitting corrosion behavior of two kinds (W and Cu-free; W and Cu-bearing) of supermartensitic stainless steels (SMSS) were studied in CO2-saturated chloride solution with three chloric ion concentration: 21200, 50000, 100000ppm, and four different temperatures:19, 40, 60, 80°C by potentiodynamic polarization measurement. The results indicate that the pitting potential decreased with temperature increasing, and in a logarithmic relation with the chlorine concentration in both alloys. The pitting potential of supermartensitic stainless steel is increased by together adding tungsten and copper.

The pitting corrosion behavior of the austenitic stainless steel in aqueous chloride solution was investigated using electrochemical technique. Corrosion potential (Ecorr) measurement, potentiodynamic experiments, potential-hold experiments in the passive range, and microscopic examination were used for the evaluation of corrosion characteristics. The experimental parameters were chloride ion concentration, immersion time and anodic-hold potential. Ecorr measurements along with microscopic examinations suggest that in or above 3.5 % NaCl at pH 2 pitting took place on the surface in absence of applied potential after 6 hour immersion. The potentiodynamic experiment reveals that Ecorr and pitting potential (Epit) decreased and current density in the passive region increased with the increase of chloride ion concentrations. A linear relationship between Epit and chloride ion concentrations was found in this investigation. The analysis of the results suggests that six chloride ions are involved for the dissolution of iron ion in the pitting corrosion process of austenitic stainless steel.

Petrochemical equipments made of austenitic stainless steel are often used in the environment of acetic acid solution. Premature corrosion failure led by acetic acid solution containing Cl− or Br− occurs in service. In the present paper, corrosion behavior of AISI316L austenitic stainless steel and SAF2205 duplex stainless steel in acetic acid solution containing Br-ion was studied by measuring the corrosion weight loss and Potentiodynamic anodic polarization curve. Effects of temperature and Br− concentration on the corrosion behaviors of AISI316L and SAF2205 material were investigated. The research results show that the corrosion rate markedly increases and pitting potential rapidly decreases with increasing temperature and Br− ion concentration. The pitting resistance of SAF2205 stainless steels is superior to AISI316L. For sensitized AISI316L and SAF2205 stainless steels, the similar rules were founded with increasing Br− concentration; sensitizing treatment will lead to decrease in corrosion resistance. Pitting induced by Br ion preferentially occurred at austenitic boundaries for sensitized AISI316L stainless steels, whereas pitting preferentially occurred at austenitic boundaries, ferrite-austenite boundaries and ferrite boundaries for sensitized SAF2205 duplex stainless steels.

The corrosion behavior of maraging hardened stainless steel (MHSS) in different Cl-medium was investigated by thermodynamics simulation and electrochemical experiments. The simulation results show that the thermodynamic stability zone decreases with the increase of the concentration of Cl-. Some of chromium transformed into Cr(OH)2+and adsorbed on the surface of stainless steel, and others generated Cr2O3protecting the matrix. Mo reacted with O2to form MoO42-adsorbed on the surface of the material, which inhibited the destruction of Cl-. The electrochemical experiments indicate that the concentration of Cl-is in the range of 2%-7%. The pitting potential and self-corrosion potential of MHSS decreased linearly with the increase of ion concentration, and the pitting corrosion resistance of MHSS decreased. When the self-corrosion current increases from 1.9888 μA to 2.6524 μA, the corrosion tendency of the material enhances.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the electrochemical corrosion behavior of type 444 stainless steel (SS) in synthetic tap water from 25°C to 80°C, i.e. the operation environment of the electric water heater. Design/methodology/approach The corrosion behavior was studied by using electrochemical measurements such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and polarization curve. The specimen surfaces were observed with scanning electron microscopy. The passive films were characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Findings In the typical tap water, 444 SS passivates spontaneously under different temperatures. The passive films formed at higher temperatures contain relatively less Cr-species and more Cl− ions, resulting in lower polarization resistances. The stable pitting corrosion takes place in the potential region of oxygen evolution as the temperature increases to about 55°C. The critical Cl− concentration of pitting corrosion reduces from about 160 mg L−1 to 60 mg L−1 with changing temperature from 25°C to 80°C. Practical implications The pitting corrosion probability was assessed through the statistical analysis of tap water quality. The results are useful for the application of 444 SS as well as the design of electric water heater. Originality/value This paper shows the variation of polarization resistance, pitting potential, passive film composition and critical pitting chloride concentration with the temperature of tap water. It is of great significance for the development and application of SS in tap water environments.
