Investigation of the Microstructural and Corrosion Properties of Steels and Light Alloys.

33429946 9 Yeh C.-P., Tsai K.-C., Huang J.-Y. Influence of Chloride Concentration on Stress Corrosion Cracking and Crevice Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steel in Saline Environments. They performed a tensile test, low-temperature impact toughness, corrosion weight loss method, polarization curves, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy on four bainitic steels with different niobium contents. They also investigated the corrosion behavior of the treated steel in aqueous borate buffer solution to correlate the corrosion behavior with the microstructure arising from the various heat treatments that were performed.
