Abstract
AbstractThe present study proposes a protective TiO2 coating against chloride driven stress corrosion cracking problem of 316L austenitic stainless steel. To test the performance of the proposed coating, the severe chloride‐based boiling magnesium chloride solution at 155 °C was chosen. For experimentation, the constant strain‐based U‐bend specimens were coated with TiO2 using atmospheric plasma spray method. The results indicated higher resistance by TiO2 coated specimens against stress corrosion cracking problem, while the bare specimens experienced severe damage in the boiling magnesium chloride solution under various strain loading configurations. The coating‐electrolyte system of TiO2 coated sample demonstrated over seven times higher resistance, eventually led to reduction in corrosion rate over fifteen times compared to the bare 316L stainless steel in the boiling magnesium chloride solution. This improved performance of the coated 316L stainless steel is attributed to inhibition of outward diffusion of iron‐chromium‐nickel in the corrosive environment and the high chemical stability of TiO2.
