The Critical Pitting Temperature of a 22-05 type duplex stainless is investigated using both potentiodynamic and potentiostatic techniques. The potentiodynamic technique leads to a lower CPT value than the potentiostatic one. The pitting potential distribution near the CPT is determined using a multichannel device. A 10°C transition temperature interval is evidenced in which pitting probability gradually increases from 0 to 1. A conservative CPT should then be defined as the lowest boundary of this temperature interval.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
