Influence of Inclusions in Low Alloy-Steels on Pitting Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two low alloy steels were selected. Inclusions in them were analyzed by electronic probe micro-analyzer. The Influence of inclusions in low alloy-steels were discussed by polarization tests and simulated occluded corrosion cell combined with micro-analyse. The results showed that the inclusions in low alloy-steels were the main pitting initiation and the sulfide inclusions were easier to cause pitting corrosion than other inclusions. The inclusions also accelerated pitting corrosion propagating.
