Abstract:Type 316N (0.07% N) stainless-steel welds prepared by shielded metal arc welding were evaluated for their pitting corrosion susceptibility in an acidified chloride environment and a neutral chloride environment in as-welded and thermally aged conditions at 823 and 923 K for 4, 10, 24, and 100 h. After 100 h thermal aging at 823 K, 46% of δ ferrite was transformed into carbide and 81% δ ferrite was transformed into carbide and sigma phases at 923 K for 100 h. On thermal aging at 823 K (0-10 h) and 923 K (10-100… 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.
