Investigation of the Localized Corrosion and Passive Behavior of Type 304 Stainless Steels with 0.2–1.8 wt % B

The pitting corrosion resistance and passive behavior of type 304 borated stainless steels (Fe<sub>balance</sub>–18Cr–12Ni–1.5Mn–(0.19, 0.78, and 1.76 wt %)B) manufactured through conventional ingot metallurgy were investigated. The alloys were composed of an austenitic matrix and Cr<...

The alloys were composed of an austenitic matrix and Cr<sub>2</sub>B phase, and the volume fraction of Cr<sub>2</sub>B increased from 1.68 to 22.66 vol % as the B content increased from 0.19 to 1.76 wt %. Potentiodynamic polarization tests measured in aqueous NaCl solutions revealed that the pitting corrosion resistance was reduced as the B content increased and the pits were initiated at the matrix adjacent to the Cr<sub>2</sub>B phase.
