Samples simulating the continuous changing structures of UNS S30400 heat affected zone (HAZ) were prepared for examination using metallographic structural analysis, corrosion morphological observations, and traditional electrochemical measurements to characterize the intergranular corrosion and pitting resistance.
The heating air cooling and water cooling technology were used on the 30408 stainless steel to simulate the microstructure of the different location in the heat affected zone (HAZ) meanwhile the electrochemical method and the immersion test were used to compare the pitting corrosion behavior of the different microstructure. The result showed that the grain growth tendency was obvious in both of the air and water cooling treatment with the heat treatment temperature increasing. The minimum of the anti-corrosion capacity especially the resistance to pitting of air cooling microstructure was at the temperature of 1300² C and the water cooling microstructure was at the 1100² C.

Proper heat treatment on stainless steel (SS) heat exchanger tubes is very important to obtain the expected stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and corrosion resistance of the material. This paper will discuss three recent issues that have arisen on this topic.

A series of pitting corrosion and electrochemical tests were performed, aimed at assessing the suitability of UNS S31603 (316L) in an anoxic brine where the chloride concentration was up to 250 000 mg l-1.
The specimen surface, effect of filling rate were examined. Characterization of the primary fracture surface and the gauge section of the tested specimens was done by scanning electron microscopy and subsequent classification according to the NACE TM0198 standard.
