Abstract
The impact of 316L stainless steel discolouration on chloride induced pitting corrosion was quantified. Several degrees of discolouration were produces by chemical passivation, simulated rouging or anodic polarization. Discolouration was characterized by spectral analysis in the visible and NIR range (400-1000 nm). Pitting corrosion resistance was quantified by pitting potential measurements. The spectra were used to indicate whether pitting or transpassive behaviour would occur using chemometric classification techniques with 88% accuracy. In addition, pitting potentials were predicted combining chemometrics and survival analysis techniques with a 90 mV RMS error in cross-validation. XPS analysis linked pitting resistance with the Cr/Fe balance.
