Rare corrosion failures of stainless steel are reviewed in the paper. The cases originate from low chloride waters like potable water or fresh water in the temperature range of 15-25°C. Under such conditions full resistance of austenitic stainless steel like AISI 316 is usually expected.
Rare corrosion failures of stainless steel are reviewed in the paper. The cases originate from low chloride waters like potable water or fresh water in the temperature range of 15-25°C. Under such conditions full resistance of austenitic stainless steel like AISI 316 is usually expected. In all cases corrosion was associated with the build-up of dense corrosion products (tubercles), which suggests microbial influence on corrosion. This is further supported by ennobled potentials in most cases. Based on the observations collected through failure investigations, possible theories for the cause of corrosion are discussed. Precautions to avoid corrosion e.g. when doing hydrostatic testing are also discussed.

Field experience was studied to identify the best solutions to Localized corrosion of 316 stainless steel instrument and chemical injection tubing in marine environment. Laboratory tests and exposure in marine environment of samples have been used to evaluate possible alternative materials and protective chemicals.

In this study the pitting behavior of stainless steel type AISI 304 (EN 1.4301) has been studied in various binary mixtures of MgSO4, K2SO4 or Li2SO4 with NaCl. Results are compared to those obtained in binary mixtures of Na2SO4 with NaCl as well as in plain NaCl.
This study was to 1) develop a protocol to test coating performance on pitted stainless steel 2) compare performance of protective coating systems 3) determine application procedure.
