Abstract
This article investigates the pitting resistance of a newly developed Fe-Cr-Mn-N austenitic stainless steel with 0.14 wt% carbon and its counterpart with 0.02 wt% carbon. By using especially hot-rolled bimetal specimens, we focus on the pitting behavior near the interface between the two alloys and demonstrate that solid solution carbon can significantly improve pitting resistance. The alloyed carbon increases the passive film stability, but the more fundamental reason is that carbon suppresses the active dissolution rate of the matrix, thereby inhibiting the kinetics of pitting growth. These results will highlight the use of carbon alloying in austenitic stainless steel to provide more cost-effective materials with improved corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for the construction industry.
期刊介绍:
CORROSION is the premier research journal featuring peer-reviewed technical articles from the world’s top researchers and provides a permanent record of progress in the science and technology of corrosion prevention and control. The scope of the journal includes the latest developments in areas of corrosion metallurgy, mechanisms, predictors, cracking (sulfide stress, stress corrosion, hydrogen-induced), passivation, and CO2 corrosion.
70+ years and over 7,100 peer-reviewed articles with advances in corrosion science and engineering have been published in CORROSION. The journal publishes seven article types – original articles, invited critical reviews, technical notes, corrosion communications fast-tracked for rapid publication, special research topic issues, research letters of yearly annual conference student poster sessions, and scientific investigations of field corrosion processes. CORROSION, the Journal of Science and Engineering, serves as an important communication platform for academics, researchers, technical libraries, and universities.
Articles considered for CORROSION should have significant permanent value and should accomplish at least one of the following objectives:
• Contribute awareness of corrosion phenomena,
• Advance understanding of fundamental process, and/or
• Further the knowledge of techniques and practices used to reduce corrosion.
