Abstract

Galvanic corrosion generated by the coupling between the austenitic stainless steel Alloy 926 (UNS N08926) and the welded Alloy 926 has been studied by means of electrochemical methods. The materials have been tested in highly concentrated LiBr solutions at different temperatures. The effect of Li 2CrO 4 as corrosion inhibitor has also been evaluated. Galvanic corrosion has been studied under open circuit conditions using a zero-resistance ammeter (ZRA). Results have demonstrated the poor severity of the coupling between the Alloy 926 and the welded metal in the studied conditions. The probability of localized corrosion increased with temperature and concentration, as the galvanic current density and galvanic potential data demonstrated.
