Role of hygroscopic chloride salts on corrosion performance and hydrogen absorption of steel under cyclic wet-dry conditions Corros. Sci. (IF 8.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-15 Xiaole Han, Masatoshi Sakairi
The corrosion morphology of steel under aqueous NaCl, MgCl, and ZnCl droplets and the corresponding hydrogen permeation behaviour were investigated using surface characterization techniques and electrochemical methods. Under cyclic wet-dry conditions, Mg and Zn-containing surface layers were formed on steel and the latter presented a high corrosion resistance. The most active hydrogen entry occurred

Towards understanding stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steels exposed to realistic sea salt brines Corros. Sci. (IF 8.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-15 R.M. Katona, J.M. Taylor, T.A. McCready, C.R. Bryan, R.F. Schaller
Stress corrosion cracking behavior of stainless steel 304 L was investigated in full immersion, evaporated artificial sea salt brines (ASW) at 55 °C. It was observed that brines representative of thermodynamically stable brines at lower relative humidity (40% RH, MgCl-dominant) had a faster crack growth rate than high relative humidity brines (76% RH, NaCl-dominant). Observed crack growth rates ()

Corrosion mechanism of cold forged 316 stainless steel in molten FLiNaK salt Corros. Sci. (IF 8.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Minsung Hong, Shmuel Samuha, Peter Hosemann
This study examined how cold forging (CF) affects the corrosion of 316 stainless steel (SS) in molten FLiNaK salt at 700 °C for 48 h. CF samples had two corrosion areas: one near the top and another displaying intergranular corrosion (IGC). Samples with lower CF (5–30 %) showed more IGC, while the 50 % CF sample had less IGC but the shallowest corrosion depth. This was due to the increased number of
