The localized corrosion behavior of Type 304L stainless steel (UNS S30400), Alloy 625 (UNS N06625), and three experimental NiCoCrMo multiprincipal element alloys (MPEA), exposed to methanol/lithium chloride solutions with different water contents, is examined in this paper. Cyclic potentiodynamic polarization tests indicated that water increased the pitting and repassivation potentials and the critical temperature at which localized corrosion occurred in chloride solutions. The effect of water on repassivation potential in methanol-chloride solution depended on the chloride concentration and alloy content. At lower chloride concentration and higher alloy content, water had a greater inhibiting effect on repassivation potential, suggesting a competitive reaction between chloride and water on the metal surface in the pit. The localized corrosion resistance of the MPEAs followed the same trend as that of commercial stainless steels and Ni-base alloys in terms of the effect of alloying elements. The implications of these results on the mechanisms of localized corrosion are discussed.
