New Fe--Cr--Mo ferritic stainless steels

Journal Article · · Corrosion; (United States)
The new Fe-Cr-Mo ferritic stainless steels are reviewed with an emphasis on corrosion behavior. The properties of commercial steels are outlined showing how these alloys can be divided into general purpose (18Cr-2Mo), moderately severe service (26Cr-1Mo), and premium service (29Cr-4Mo) materials. The stress corrosion cracking (SCC), intergranular corrosion, pitting, crevice corrosion, and general corrosion of the Fe-Cr-Mo ferritic stainless steels in general is discussed. The influence of nickel on the corrosion resistance and toughness of ferritic stainless steels is considered.
