Evaluation of the localized corrosion resistance of 430Ti ferritic steels as possible replacement for the conventional 409 ferritic steel in automobile exhaust mufflers
The standard alloy for the manufacture of automobile exhaust mufflers is generally 409 ferritic stainless steel. Its corrosion resistance is slightly above the carbon steel. Comparative study of the localized corrosion resistance of 430Ti and 409 ferritic steels was performed in acid chloride and neutral chloride solutions by potentiodynamic polarization, optical microscopy, and open circuit...
