✦ Synopsis
A study has been made of the corrosion resistance, in seawater, of some stainless-steel alloys, titanium and Incoloy 825 over a range of temperatures and dissolved-oxygen contents . The investigation has included long-term immersion tests and anodto polarisation experiments . The results have confirmed the susceptibility of type 316L stainless steel to localised corrosion in aerated seawater at ambient temperatures, although its performance is improved under lower-oxygen &onditions and there are indications of reduced vulnerability at 100 C . The investigation has also demonstrated the value, over a range of conditions, of increasing the chranium and molybdenum contents of stainless steels with the highest (Cr + Mo) steel in this study (containing 284 Cr and 3 .2% Mo) showing especially good corrosion resistance .
