La. Chigirinskaya et al., THE EFFECT OF SILICON ON ELECTROCHEMICAL CORROSION PROPERTIES OF FE-25-PERCENT-CR FERRITIC STEEL, Protection of metals, 30(3), 1994, pp. 197-200
Mechanical and electrochemical corrosion properties of 01Kh25TB ferrit
ic steel doped by 1 - 5% of silicon are given. Silicon was shown to fa
cilitate both the active dissolution process and the steel passivation
, as well as to increase its pitting resistance. The obtained results
were explained in terms of the silicon effect on micro- and electronic
structure of solid solution and passivating film.
