Abstract |
The crevice-corrosion behavior of 304 stainless steel at several chloride concentrations was investigated with two types of specimens: plate and pipe joint. There is a good correlation of crevicecorrosion behavior between the plate specimen and pipe joint specimen. The crevice-corrosion of both specimens initiated when the chloride ion concentration exceeded 200 ppm. Four stages of crevice-corrosion were observed: isolated pits, coalescing pits, crystallographic attack, and polishing attack. Consequently, the critical chloride ion concentration of crevice-corrosion is affected by the intrinsic property of the material. |
