## Abstract A sulfuric acid plant was equipped with heat exchangers with Nicrofer 3620 tubing. The cooling medium was sea water. Within 5 weeks after startโup some of the tubes failed by pitting, showing that it is impossible to use stainless steel as a heat transfer material in sea water unless th

โฆ Synopsis
Austenitic stainless steel welds with different ferrite contents (4 and 12FN) were obtained by the Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) strip cladding process, and some clads were remelted by TIG.The welds were post weld heat treated (PWHT) at 600,800,1000"C for 1 h. Pitting potentials were measured in 1 N H2S04 + 0.5 N NaC1.
Etching at the pitting potentials was carried out in the same solution in order to locate the pit sites; pitting studies were also conducted in 10% FeCI3 solution.
The results showed that an increase in ferrite content decreases pitting resistance. PWHT at 800 "C decreases pitting resistance, too, whereas PWHT at 1000 "C results in increased pitting resistance at austenite/ferrite interfaces. TIG samples showed less pits than their SAW counterparts.
AufschweiRungen aus austenitischen nichtrostenden
Stahlen mit unterschiedlichen Ferritgehalten (FN 4 und 12) wurden mittels UnterpulverschweiBen unter Verwendung von Bandmaterial hergestellt . AnschlieRend wurde die Plattierung einiger Proben mittels WIG umgeschmolzen. Die Plattierungen wurden nach dem SchweiBvorgang bei 600, 800 und 1000ยฐC eine Stunde lang behandelt und dann die Lochkorrosionspotentiale in 1 N Schwefelsaure + 0,5 N NaCl gemessen. In der gleichen Losung wurde auch bei den Lochkorrosionspotentialen gearbeitet , um die Lage der Korrosionsstellen zu ermitteln; im iibrigen wurden auch Untersuchungen in 10% iger FeCI3-Losung durchgefiihrt . Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daR zunehmender Ferritgehalt die Bestandigkeit der Lochkorrosion verringert ; die gleiche Wirkung hat Warmebehandlung bei 800 "C nach dem SchweiRen, wahrend die Behandlung bei 1000 "C die Bestandigkeit gegen Lochkorrosion an den AustenitBerrit-Grenzflachen verbessert. Die WIG-umgeschmolzenen Proben zeigten geringere Lochzahlen als die entsprechenden unterpulvergeschweilten Materialien.
