This paper presents the corrosion testing of Electron beam welded pure copper and stainless steel 304 weldment. Tafel polarization technique is used to find the electrochemical corrosion behaviour of electron beam welded copper and SS304 dissimilar metal joints in NaCl saturated solution.

The corrosion potential (<i>E</i><sub>corr</sub>) and corrosion current density (<i>I</i><sub>corr</sub>) of the weldments proves that the weldment has superior corrosion resistance when compared with the base metals.
