Effect of Cl- Content, pH Value and CO2 on Electrochemical Corrosion Features of Cr15 Super Martensitic Stainless Steel

Abstract:

The corrosion behavior of a Cr15 super martensitic stainless steel (Cr15 SMSS) was investigated in NaCl solutions by means of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Effects of Cl- content, pH value and saturated CO2 on corrosion were sdudied. It was found that the parameters of maintaining passivity current density (ip), the critical pitting potential (Eb) and charge transfer resistance (Rt) of Cr15 SMSS varied widely under different conditions. The corrosion resistance of Cr15 SMSS decrease with increasing Cl- concentration and lowering pH value. Both ip and Eb increase for Cr15 SMSS in CO2-saturated NaCl solution, which verified that the CO2 in NaCl solution can result in lower pitting sensitivity and higher uniform corrosion rate to Cr15 SMSS.
