Title: The influence of sulfide inclusions on the initiation of pits in Fe-29Ni-17Co

Abstract

Kovar sheet and rod samples were tested in the as-received (R/sub B/80 and R/sub B/95, respectively) condition. Pitting tests were conducted on three sheet orientations: face, long-transverse (side), and short-transverse (end) and on two rod orientations: cross section (end) and length. Samples were prepared for testing by grinding and chemically cleaning all faces, spot-welding a Kovar wire to the back, and mounting in Maraglas resin. The exposed face was ground with 600-grit SiC paper and rinsed in deionized water immediately before testing. The grinding scratches were aligned in the rolling direction of the sheet and the drawing direction of the rod length. All tests were conducted in a room temperature 0.5 M NaCI electrolyte adjusted to pH 10 by the addition of NaOH. Polarization of Kovar in nonalkaline 0.5 M NaCI did not yield a sharp pitting potential because of the lack of a stable passive potential region. The electrolyte was purged with N/sub 2/ during testing and for a minimum of 4 h before testing. Potentiodynamic tests were conducted from the open circuit potential, following 15-min immersion, at a potential scan rate of 6 mV/min. Critical pitting potentials are reported as the average of six measurements.
