Abstract
The steel grade UNS S32100 is the stainless material most frequently u sed in circuits of the VVER type nuclear power stations. Transfer of k nowledge about corrosion processes valid for steels not stabilized by titanuim, e.g. of the S30400 or S31600 type, is in many cases not esta blished. It is necessary to expect different behaviour of titanium-sta bilized steels especially during initiation of localized corrosion pro cesses, due to different phase composition of stabilized and non-stabi lized steels.
