Abstract

Insights into the roles of geometry, size, and composition on MnS inclusion dissolution to initiate pits in 304L SS were obtained by combining operando and ex-situ electron microscopy, EDS, and atomistic modeling. The majority of thirty MnS on SS surface did not undergo dissolution even after over a week of exposure, and only a small number caused an attack of SS. Operando TEM during potentiodynamic polarization confirmed that MnS attack was followed by corrosion of the nearby SS substrate. Atomistic modeling revealed that elemental variations in the surface composition may play a role in differentiating pitting initiation by sulfur species.
