P. Merino et al., INTERGRANULAR CORROSION SUSCEPTIBILITY OF AUSTENITIC FERRITIC DUPLEX STAINLESS-STEELS - APPLICATION OF POTENTIOKINETIC REACTIVATION TESTS, Materials science and technology, 9(2), 1993, pp. 168-171
The aim of the present work is to study the influence of the microstru
ctures obtained by thermal treatment on the corrosion resistance of a
22.4Cr-5.4Ni (wt-%) duplex stainless steel in the presence of chloride
ions, using the potentiokinetic reactivation test. The results enable
the relationship between the area ratio of activation and reactivatio
n curves and microstructure to be determined, and can be used to plot
the time-temperature-transformation diagram for these steels.
