The corrosion behavior of 316L stainless steel(316L SS) has been investigated in solutions containing various concentrations of chloride ions by using potentiodynamic polarization, capacitance measurement and Motte Schottky relationship analysis(Me S). The result indicates that passive currents change slightly with the addition of chloride ions. The pitting potential(Epit) decreases linearly with log[Cl ]. Correspondingly, the point defect diffusion coefficient(Do) of the passive film increases linearly with increasing log[Cl ]. The results also indicate that the pitting corrosion of 316L SS follows the adsorption mechanism in NaCl solution.
The corrosion behavior of 316L stainless steel (31 6L SS) has been investigated in solutions containing various concentrations of chloride ions by using potentiodynamic polarization, capacitance measurement and Mott- Schottky relationship analysis (M-S). The result indicates that passive currents change slightly with the addition of chloride ions. The pitting potential (Epit) decreases linearly with Iog[CI-]. Correspondingly, the point defect diffusion coefficient (Do) of the passive film increases linearly with increasing Iog[CI-]. The results also indicate that the pitting corrosion of 316L SS follows the adsorption mechanism in NaCI solution.
