Abstract

This study investigates the pitting behavior of the root pass in gas metal arc welded 316L pipelines with and without Argon backing gas. Backing gas improved pitting resistance by reducing oxides that initiate pits. Welds without backing gas showed higher ferrite content and more severe Cr and Mo segregation due to rapid heat transfer, leading to reduced corrosion resistance. The findings underscore the critical role of welding environments, particularly Argon backing, in enhancing pitting corrosion performance by influencing microstructures, inclusions, and passive film properties.
