CREVICE CORROSION RESISTANCES OF STAINLESS STEELS IN MARINE ENVIRONMENTS: THE INFLUENCE OF N, MN, AND S

J.W. Oldfield

Abstract

This paper studies the effects of minor elements on crevice corrosion resistances of stainless steels ranging from AISI 316 to the 6% molybdenum austenitic stainless steels in order to define an alloy composition suitable for seawater service and, in particular, for resistance to crevice corrosion. Overall, the results indicate the feasibility of significantly improving the corrosion resistance of the high-alloy austenitic stainless steels to the point where they would be suitable for seawater service.
