Abstract

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring for corrosion of small chloride droplet was proposed to investigate its mechanism. The corrosion testing in thin plate specimens of SUS304 stainless steel was conducted on an AE waveform measurement system with a high sensitivity AE sensor. Three types of corrosion were observed in the corrosion testing, which were the open pitting, covered pitting and snake-like corrosion, respectively. There were many AE events in the covered pitting and the snake-like corrosion. On the contrary, there was no AE event in the open pitting. Besides, the cross section of the snake-like corrosion was analyzed by EBSD. It shows that there were some cracks at the {111} interface of Σ3 coincidence boundary and annealing twins under the corrosion surface. Therefore, it can be concluded that the detected AE signals of corrosion testing were mainly attributed to the cracking in the covered pitting and the snake-like corrosion.
