Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of tellurium (Te) treatment on the pitting behavior of 38MnVS6 Non-quenched and Tempered steel (NQTS) in an alkaline environment. The electrochemical tests demonstrate an increase in pitting potential within the Te content from 0 to 500 ppm and a decrease from 500 to 1600 ppm. Pitting can be ascribed to the preferential dissolution at the inclusion/matrix interface, which is caused by the stress concentration. At the presence of micro-crevices, it is easier for inclusions to induce stable pitting.
