- Pit morphology and its relation to microstructure of 850°C aged duplex stainless steel(2005) Magnabosco R.; Alonso-Falleiros N.The relation between pit morphology and microstructure formed during 850°C isothermal aging of UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel (DSS) could be reached through the explanation of pit nucleation and growth during potentiodynamic polarization in 3.5 wt% sodium chloride (NaCl) aqueous solution. Aging times up to 10 min at 850°C led to sigma formation by direct precipitation from ferrite, resulting in Cr- and Mo-depleted ferrite, or secondary ferrite. Between 30 min and 5 h of aging, the ferrite suffered eutectoid decomposition, resulting in sigma phase and secondary austenite, also impoverished in Cr and Mo. Those Cr- and Mo-depleted zones around the sigma phase were preferential sites for the nucleation of pits. At those sites, the passive film breakdown was easier, as shown by the low pitting potential values found in aged samples. Pit growth occurred as selective corrosion of the metallic matrix surrounding the sigma phase, as a consequence of the lower corrosion resistance of the secondary ferrite and austenite phases found. The low passivation potential values indicated the difficulty in repassivation of the pits formed, probably related to the Cr and Mo depletion of the regions surrounding the sigma phase. © 2005, NACE International.
- Selective corrosion in sodium chloride aqueous solution of cupronickel alloys with aluminum and iron additions(2007) Liberto R.C.N.; Magnabosco R.; Alonso-Falleiros N.Cupronickel pipes are widely used in cooling systems. Under this application, localized corrosion is observed, particularly associated with selective corrosion of nickel (denickelification). This work studied the denickelification process in solution-treated cupronickel alloys 90-10 (Cu-10wt%Ni), with aluminum and iron additions, in 0.01 M, 0.1 M, or 0.6 M sodium chloride (NaCl) aqueous solutions. Polished surfaces of the studied materials were submitted to potentiodynamic polarization, and after that, the polarized surfaces were studied using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) assisted by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). A passivity break potential (Epb) was determined in all solutions, related to the initiation of selective corrosion of nickel. When submitted to cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, alloys with higher Epb showed the higher nickel losses in localized spots. However, potentiodynamic polarization tests conducted in 0.01 M NaCl until current densities of 10-1 A/cm2 were reached showed that the selective corrosion process was stopped by the formation of copper-rich corrosion products over the surface. © 2007, NACE International.
- Sigma phase formation and polarization response of UNS S31803 in sulfuric acid(2005) Magnabosco R.; Alonso-Falleiros N.For a better understanding of the relationship between the microstructure of UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel (DSS) and the shape of the polarization curves, this study evaluated the influence of the microstructure on the potentiodynamic polarization of the 850°C isothermal-aged UNS S31803 DSS in 0.5 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4). In the transpassive region, selective corrosion of chromium- and molybdenum-rich phases occurred. In the solution-treated sample, ferrite was selectively corroded, and in all aged samples, the sigma phase was the selectively corroded phase. Five current density maxima in the passive region were found during potentiodynamic polarization, and they can be related to the microstructures formed. The current density maximum at 564 mV us. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) can be related to secondary ferrite, impoverished in chromium and molybdenum, that was formed during direct precipitation of sigma phase from the original ferrite. Secondary austenite, impoverished in chromium and molybdenum and formed together with the sigma phase during eutectoid decomposition of the original ferrite, can be related to the current density maxima at -85 mVSCE and -40 mVSCE. The austenite phase, present in all heat-treatment conditions, can be related to the current density maxima at -155 mVSCE and 111 mVSCE. © 2005, NACE International.
