Corrosion behavior of stainless steels simulating radiation-induced segregation

Description

Effect of chemical composition caused by radiation-induced segregation on corrosion behavior was examined using the experimental alloys simulating the chemical composition at/near grain boundaries of irradiated austenitic stainless steels. The corrosion behavior of the experimental alloys seemed to be dependent mainly on the concentration of Cr. However some effects of Ni and Si content were observed on the anodic dissolution in a sulfuric acid solution. Some differences were observed on the electrochemical properties of anodic polarization behavior against the alloys those had the chemical composition of thermally-sensitized austenitic stainless steel.
