This paper describes the results of an electrochemical investigation concerning the pitting resistance of cold-worked AISI 304 L and 316 L stainless steels in deaerated 3.5 weight percent (w/o) NaC1 solutions of different pH's (pH --2, 7, and 9). An anisotropic behavior of specimen surfaces with different orientations to the direction of deformation is shown and discussed in relation to characteristic structural aspects.
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.
