Effect of heat treatment processes on the localized corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel type 301 in chloride/sulphate solution
The effect of quenching and annealing heat treatment on the localized corrosion resistance of 301 austenitic steel in 2 M H2SO4/0.75%–2.25% NaCl was studied by potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit potential measurement and optical microscopy analysis. The corrosion rate of the quenched, annealed and untreated steel increased with increase in NaCl concentration. The quenched steel had...
