Abstract:Some metals and alloys have special characteristics that enable them to provide superior corrosion-resistant metal surfaces. These protective passive films are responsible for the phenomenon of passivity. Metals with this characteristic can be categorized as passive materials such as stainless steel 316L and nickel alloy Inconel 625. However, in corrosive environment this protective passive film may breach and exposed bare metal for further corrosion attack. Corrosive environment can be refer as metal is susce… Show more
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.
