Evaluation of the localized corrosion resistance of 316L austenitic and 430Ti ferritic stainless steel in aqueous chloride/sulphate media for application in petrochemical crude distillation units.
Corrosion problems are frequently encountered in petrochemical crude distillation units due to increased levels of chlorides and sulfur anions from the constituents of crude oil. Potentiodynamic polarization test, potentiostatic measurement, open circuit potential measurement and optical microscopy characterization was performed on 316 L austenitic and 430Ti ferritic stainless steel in 3.5 M...
