Abstract

AbstractInfluence of composition, specifically manganese and nitrogen content, on the microstructure associated corrosion resistance property of newly developed stainless steel has been studied. The developed steels have been characterised for their microstructure, mechanical and electrochemical properties. The results indicate that the addition of manganese and nitrogen as a substitute for nickel favours the austenite microstructure, higher yield strength (>350 MPa), tensile strength (>700 MPa), elongation and superior Charpy V‐notch impact toughness properties. The results obtained from electrochemical tests such as potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of manganese stainless steel show remarkable improvement (about 4 times) in corrosion resistance exhibiting passivity behaviour like that of commercial stainless steel (316L).
