ON THE MECHANISM OF STAINLESS STEEL CORROSION IN NARROW SLITS AND CREVICES (in Russian)

Journal Article · · Zhur. Anal. Khim.
OSTI ID:4342447
A study has been made of the corrosion and electrochemical behavior in narrow slits and crevices in 0.5 N NaCl solutions of the various steeis. Steel with a 13 to 17% chromium content has been found to lose its passivity in narrow slits and crevices and to undergo considerable pitting corrosion. The corrosion of the stainless steel in the crevice in contact with that in the bulk of the electrolyte increases greatly owing to the formation of active-passive cells, the anode of which is the metal in the crevice. The function of such macrocouples has been studied and the cause of their appearance has been indicated. (tr-auth)
