Stainless Steels In Seawater
Stress Corrosion Cracking and Stainless Steel in Marine Environments When stainless steel is put in marine environments, pitting corrosion or crevice corrosion will take place. Similar to crevice corrosion is galvanic corrosion which is also the result of low resistivity. The salt content in these environments ranges from 10,000 – 19,000 mg/L of chlorides. Pitting Corrosion (or…
