Abstract
AbstractA combination of scanning microelectrochemical techniques along with the conventional electrochemical approaches is explored to attain insight information on the localized corrosion on the newly developed lean duplex stainless steel (LDSS) alloys. The obtained results from dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (DEIS) tests explained the beneficial role of different alloying elements on the passive and transpassive regions of the investigated LDSS alloys in a 3.5% NaCl solution. The scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) was effective in examining the anodic and cathodic regions on the corroding LDSS, whereas the scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) technique was employed to explore the localized corrosion sites on LDSS in NaCl solution. The acquired SVET results revealed a reduction in the susceptibility of the newly developed alloys to localized corrosion concerning their composition, accounting for the enhanced corrosion resistance. The obtained result from conventional and scanning microelectrochemical techniques obviously revealed the LDSS alloy with the composition of Fe–16Cr–2Ni–2Mn–1Mo exhibited higher localized corrosion resistance in NaCl solution.
