It is well-known that Cl- solution produces a pitting corrosion in a welded austenitic stainless steel. However the relationship between the pitting corrosion occurred in the stainless steel and the freeze-thawing environment has not yet clear. In this work the influence of freeze-thawing environment on a pitting corrosion which occurs in the welded austenitic stainless steel (SUS304) in Cl- solutions was investigated. SUS304 with bead-on-plate welding was used as a specimen. The specimen was fully immersed in FeCl3 solution. The freeze-thawing environment was recreated by a temperature fluctuation from 293K to 253K. As a result large-scale pitting corrosions produced mostly in the area of a high tensile residual stress and a sensitive metallographic structure near weld bead under the freeze-thawing environment. It is confirmed that the accelerated pitting corrosion phenomenon was introduced by concentration cell corrosion due to a local concentration of chlorine ion Cl- around weld bead during freezing and thawing of the solution. Furthermore it was clarified that the thinner plate thickness was and the longer one cycle time the more corrosion accelerated.
