EFFECT OF DIFFERENTIAL AERATION AND OF THE pH ON THE CORROSION OF STAINLESS STEEL IN NARROW CREVICES (in Russian)

Journal Article · · Zhur. Fiz. Khim.
OSTI ID:4226469
A drop in oxygen concentration in a narrow crevice will, in every case, activate the surface of stainless steel, leading to the formation of a differential aeration couple. However, at normal pH values the current in such couples will quickly diminish, evidently owing to passivation of the snode. The value of the pH is one of the main factors determining the intensity of corrosion in the crevice of a methl. In some cases a low pH value will activate the metal surface in a crevice, often leading to intensive destruction due to the formation of strong galvanic couples. In other cases such an effect is not observed. (auth)
