✦ Synopsis
Spontaneous passivation of AISI 304 (UNS S 30 400)$ austenitic stainless steel containing 2% Cu was affected by 0.02-0.03% P and 1% MO and 2-30/o Si. The steels were investigated in deaerated 0.5 M H,SO, at different temperatures by electrochemical and surface analysis (XRD, SEM, STM and AES) techniques. The decrease of P impurity to 0.001 wt% increased the ability of steel alloy to selfpassivate at temperatures from 30°C to more than 45°C. P segregated at grain boundaries increased the active dissolution of the alloy, the accumulation of Cu, and hydrogen adsorption on the surface. However, some beneficial effect was observed by the presence of P during ageing. Stainless steels with P impurity and containing MO or Si exhibited spontaneous passivation at temperatures higher than 50°C. MO addition inhibited active dissolution and Si participated in the formation of the oxide film enhancing the positive role of Cu.
