Abstract
Corrosion of stainless steels in the presence of nitric acid condensates is far more severe than in the liquid bulk and can lead to intergranular attack even on non-sensitized steels. Parametric corrosion tests were performed in order to determine the effect of various factors on this type of corrosion. Specific apparatus was designed to control and characterize nitric condensates. An electrochemical study of the reduction of nitric acid on a platinum electrode and on a stainless steel electrode allows linking of the results of the corrosion tests to the process of reduction of nitric acid.
