Abstract
18-10 chromium nickel steels are generally valid as well weldable. However, during thermal joining oxides are formed in the heat affected zone, whose structure and composition essentially differs from the morphology of passive layers. The steel qualities X6 CrNiTi 18-10 (materials no. 1.4541) and X5 CrNiMoTi 17-12-2 (materials no. 1.4571) were examined on their tarnish growing behaviour by means of XPS/sputtering, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Information on the pitting corrosion resistance of annealed metal sheets was received by ageing them in iron chloride solution and by measuring the current density-potential curves under quasi-stationary conditions in artificial sea water.
