The Effect of Surface Roughness on the Corrosion Properties of Type AISI 304 Stainless Steel in Diluted NaCl and Urban Rain Solution

Due to their good corrosion resistance, favorable mechanical properties, and reasonable price regarding their excellent properties, austenitic stainless steels have, over recent decades, become one of the alloys that are increasingly used in civil engineering and building, as well as for specific architectural purposes. Architects often design stainless steel exterior elements with higher surface roughnesses, which are not resistant to corrosion processes. The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of different types of surface finishes to stainless steel of quality AISI 304 on the corrosion properties of this steel. In order to achieve this goal, electrochemical tests were performed on different surface finishes in two different environments: in an NaCl aqueous solution, and in simulated urban rain which contained no chlorides. In addition to the electrochemical methods used, surface roughness was also measured, and XPS surface analyses were performed. The results of the investigation showed that surface roughness affects the growth of the passive layer in urban rain significantly; however, the growth of such a film is retarded in the case of the NaCl aqueous solution. Based on the results of the performed analyses, it was found that, in the NaCl solution, the pitting potential depended strongly upon the surface roughness and the surface finish, but this was not true for the samples tested in urban rain.

Microstructure and corrosion behavior of the AISI 304 stainless steel after Nd:YAG pulsed laser surface melting

Different laser energy densities were utilized to treat AISI 304 stainless steel via Nd:YAG pulsed laser surface melting (LSM). The surface composition and microstructure of the stainless steel were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). In particular, the corrosion behaviors of the stainless steel surface without and with LSM were evaluated by the electrochemical polarization measurement in 3.5 wt.% NaCl aqueous solution at room temperature. The results showed that the stainless steel surface without LSM suffered severe localized pitting under the testing conditions. A thin surface oxide protective layer was produced on the stainless steel surface with LSM, which considerably improved the corrosion resistance properties of the stainless steel. The height differences of the corrosion regions on the stainless steel surface with LSM were measured to establish more corrosion resistant region, using scanning confocal laser microscopy. The underlying corrosion mechanism of the stainless steel with LSM was revealed.     

Electrochemically induced surface annealing without electrolyte immersion and its influence on pitting resistance

The martensite in metastable-austenite-stainless-steels may decrease the corrosion resistance of the steels. Electrochemically induced surface annealing (EISA) can decrease the content of martensite in the steels, so it can promote the pitting resistance of the steels. But EISA treatment has to be operated on the condition of electrolyte immersion, which is an obstacle for its actual application. In this paper AISI304L stainless steel samples were treated with a no-immersion device. The martensite content of the steel decreased after the treatment, but the hardness of the steel almost had no change. The EISA effect was achieved with the no-immersion device. After the corrosion in a 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution, the EISA treated samples had less, smaller and shallower pits than the untreated samples had. The pitting potential of the EISA treated samples was almost equal to that of the untreated samples, and the open circuit potential of the EISA treated samples was higher than that of the untreated samples. The no-immersion EISA treatment promotes the pitting resistance of metastable-austenite-stainless-steels.     

On the corrosion mechanism of AISI 204Cu stainless steel in chlorinated alkaline media

Electrochemical techniques (CV, SECM, CPT) and surface analysis techniques (EDX, SEM) have been employed to assess the corrosion behaviour of the AISI 204Cu stainless steel. The behaviour of this steel has been compared with that of AISI 304 and AISI 434 stainless steels in chlorinated alkaline media. All samples performed well at room temperature under potentiodynamic polarisation up to a chloride to hydroxyl ratio of 10. At this ratio the AISI 204Cu and the AISI 434 steels presented pitting potential at +0.47 V vs. SCE and +0.31 V vs. SCE, respectively. Moreover, the critical pitting temperature was higher for the AISI 204Cu steel than for the AISI 434 steel, respectively 58 °C and 28 °C.In terms of corrosion performance of the AISI 204Cu stainless steel can be classified better than the AISI 434 steel and worse than the AISI 304 steel.Local electrochemical and chemical examinations allowed evidencing the local activity of some pits over long period, and to conclude that the improved corrosion performance of the low nickel alloy AISI 204Cu stainless steel should be ascribed to copper cementation at active corrosion sites.     

The Effect of Surface Patterning on Corrosion Resistance of Biomedical Devices

In this study, two styles of surface topographies have been created on stainless steel wires to test their corrosion resistance as simulated implanted biomedical devices. Grade 316 LVM stainless steel wire was initially polished to G1500 surface finish before treatment to produce the two different topographies: 1. Unidirectional roughness was created using SiC papers and 2. Various patterns were created with specific hole diameter and inter-hole spacing using focused ion beam (FIB). In order to simulate the environment of implanted biomedical devices, a three-electrode electrochemical cell with 0.9% (by mass) NaCl solution has been used to test the corrosion resistance of the samples by potentiodynamic polarization test method. SEM and EDS analyzed the appearance and chemical composition of different elements including oxygen on the surface. The potential of stable pitting, time related to the initiation of the stable pitting, and the highest corrosion current associated with stable pitting have been compared for samples with the two styles of topography. It was found that surfaces with patterns have a relatively higher pitting potential and it takes longer time to initiate stable pitting than the surface without any patterns.

The influence of Mn compared to that of Cr,Mo and S on the resistance to initiation of pitting and crevice corrosion in austenitic stainless steels

A large number of production and laboratory heats in grades AISI 304 and 316 with normal and extremely low managanese and sulphur contents and a number of production heats in more highly alloyed austenitic stainless steels have been studied with regard to their resistance to initiation of pitting and crevice corrosion at various temperatures. The criteria for resistance to initiation was the potentiodynamic pitting potential in 0.1 M NaCl and synthetic seawater and the time to attack initiation for crevice corrosion in 0.5 and 5% NaCl solutions. A large number of production and laboratory heats in grades AISI 304 and 316 with normal and extremely low managanese and sulphur contents and a number of production heats in more highly alloyed austenitic stainless steels have been studied with regard to their resistance to initiation of pitting and crevice corrosion at various temperatures. The critieria for resistance to initiation was the potentiodynamic pitting potential in 0.1 M NaCl and synthetic seawater and the time to attack initiation for crevice corrosion in 0.5 and 5% NaCl solutions. The main aims of the study were to examine both the effect of manganese relative to that of chromium, molybdenum and sulphur and the effect of heat treatment and sulphide composition on steels with low manganese contents. Mathematical models for calculation of the pitting potentials have been constructed and multiple linear regression analysis gave the equations and their reliabilities. Lowering of the Mn content in austenitic stainless steels to 0.2% gives rise to a material of interest for constructions where pitting or crevice corrosion are judged to be the only potential types of attack, where operational disturbances leading to greatly increased corrosivity do not occur, where attack can not be tolerated, and where steel with normal managanese content has not exhibited fully satisfactory corrosion resistance. If the above conditions are fulfilled the low manganese content can be said to correspond to the same positive effect as is obtained by an addition of the least 1.5% Mo.     

Electrochemical prediction of corrosion behaviour of stainless steels in chloride-containing water

The pitting and crevice corrosion behaviour of stainless steels as a function of temperature and salinity (chlorides) of industrial waters has been considered in connection with environmental modification occurring because of the attack propagation. The actual meaning and the practical importance of the protection potential are examined and conclusions are drawn taking into account both the potential and non-potential dependent initiation and growth of corrosion phenomena. In this concern, the theoretical background and practical conditions for localized corrosion prevention by cathodic-anodic protection are discussed. Experimental stability diagrams of four stainless steel grades (AISI 304, 316, 430 and 410) at 22, 44 and 64°C are obtained and expressed in terms of electrode potential vs NaCl content in water.

The effect of temperature on the galvanic corrosion of the copper/AISI 304 pair in LiBr solutions under hydrodynamic conditions

The corrosion behaviour of copper and AISI 304 stainless steel and the galvanic corrosion generated by the copper/AISI 304 pair, have been studied by electrochemical methods. These materials have been tested in an 850 g/L LiBr solution at different temperatures (25-75 °C) and at different Reynolds numbers (1456-5066) in order to study their performance in absorption machines. Results show that copper was always the anodic element of the pair and its corrosion resistance decreases due to the AISI 304 stainless steel galvanic effect. Galvanic corrosion increases with temperature and Reynolds number. However, it was proved that the effect of temperature on galvanic corrosion is more influential than the Reynolds number effect. This fact is also certain for corrosion of uncoupled copper and for corrosion of AISI 304 stainless steel. Experimental values of the corrosion current densities fit well the Arrhenius plot at all the Reynolds numbers analysed and a potential relation between the corrosion current densities and the Reynolds number has been found.     

Pitting corrosion behaviour of austenitic stainless steels - combining effects of Mn and Mo additions

Mn and Mo were introduced in AISI 304 and 316 stainless steel composition to modify their pitting corrosion resistance in chloride-containing media. Corrosion behaviour was investigated using gravimetric tests in 6 wt.% FeCl₃, as well as potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarization measurements in 3.5 wt.% NaCl. Additionally, the mechanism of the corrosion attack developed on the material surface was analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray mapping and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The beneficial effect of Mo additions was assigned to Mo⁶⁺ presence within the passive film, rendering it more stable against breakdown caused by attack of aggressive Cl⁻ ions, and to the formation of Mo insoluble compounds in the aggressive pit environment facilitating the pit repassivation. Conversely, Mn additions exerted an opposite effect, mainly due to the presence of MnS inclusions which acted as pitting initiators.     

Pitting corrosion of intermetallic compound Ni3(Si,Ti) in sodium chloride solutions

The pitting corrosion of intermetallic compound Ni₃(Si,Ti) was investigated as functions of test temperature and chloride concentration in sodium chloride solutions by using a potential step method. In addition, the pitting corrosion of solution-annealed austenitic stainless steel type 304 and pure nickel was also studied under the same experimental condition for comparison. The pitting potential obtained for the intermetallic compound decreased with increasing chloride concentration and test temperature. A critical chloride concentration below which no pitting corrosion took place was found to exist and to decrease with increasing test temperature. The specific pitting potential at the critical chloride concentration also decreased with increasing test temperature. In addition, the pitting potential at various constant chloride concentrations above the critical chloride concentration decreased with increasing test temperature. The pitting potential of Ni₃(Si,Ti) was higher than pure nickel, but lower than that of type 304.     

Novel strategies for assessing the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel surfaces

Pitting corrosion is one of the most common mechanisms of surface damage on stainless steels. Electrochemical methods have been preferentially applied for the evaluation of the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steels in the laboratory. Nevertheless, some of them are not reliable enough and in general the application of electrochemical methods in the field becomes difficult because of required deep understanding of corrosive phenomena and measurement technology. Therefore, new approaches for the evaluation of the pitting corrosion susceptibility of stainless steel surfaces in the laboratory as well as in the field are necessary. In the present paper two novel strategies including electrochemical noise measurements under anodic polarization for laboratory testing, and an indicator test to assess the susceptibility of stainless steel surfaces to pitting corrosion in the field are introduced. Experimental results concerning the influence of surface treatments on the pitting corrosion resistance on stainless steels have confirmed that final surface condition has a significant effect on their future pitting corrosion susceptibility. In addition, the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel surfaces was observed being specifically dependent on the achieved surface topography and in some cases independent on the roughness parameters of the surface.     

Corrosion behaviour of carbon S-phase created on Ni-free biomedical stainless steel

Following the success of forming a carbon S-phase (expanded austenite) surface layer on medical grade Ni-free austenitic stainless steel by DC plasma carburising, the established commercial carburising process Kolsterising® was performed on both Ni-containing (AISI 304) and Ni-free austenitic stainless steels. While the Ni-containing stainless steel responded very well to Kolsterising®, the Ni-free alloy did not. The carbon absorption and the hardness of the Kolsterised® Ni-free alloy are inferior to Kolsterised® AISI 304 Ni-containing stainless steel, however, the hardness of the untreated Ni-free alloy was doubled by Kolsterising®. The response of both Kolsterised® Ni-free and Ni-containing alloys to pitting, crevice corrosion and intergranular corrosion resistance was similar. From this work it can be concluded that the Kolsterised® austenitic stainless steels do not suffer from intergranular corrosion but are susceptible to intragranular pitting when tested in boiling sulphuric acid and copper sulphate solution. It was also observed that Kolsterising® improves significantly the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance of the alloys used in this study.
