Abstract The aim of the present work has been to develop a short duration test method by which it is possible to: (1) determine the necessary conditions for crevice corrosion, and (2) predict the corrosion rate in active crevices for different area ratios between free surface and crevice. The method consists of determination of cathodic and anodic polarization curves on separate cathode (free surface) and anode (crevice) specimens, respectively, by certain applied procedures. The results from short duration tests on three different stainless steels in chloride solutions have been compared with results from long duration tests, and fairly good agreement has been found. It is thought that the short duration method can be applied for determination of the most significant crevice corrosion properties. With minor adjustments, the method is also applicable for aluminum alloys in chloride solutions.

The results of a series of investigations to assess the performance of a variety of alloys in small experimental condenser configurations at seawater velocities of 10 to 20 fps are summarized. They demonstrate that the addition of 1 percent aluminum increases the maximum velocity limits of copper-nickel alloys to 12–15 fps. Stainless steels, nickel alloys, and titanium are satisfactory for use at velocities of 20 fps, but many of these would be susceptible to pitting and/or crevice corrosion under stagnant conditions.

Abstract REMANIT 4439 is a highly corrosion resistant steel with low carbon content, an addition of nitrogen to enhance both mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and higher molybdenum than most stainless steels to resist pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride media. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-556. Producer or source: Thyssen Stahl AG.

Abstract A simple and rapid electrochemical method for the evaluation of crevice corrosion in duplex stainless steels (DSS) is described. Three types of DSS—namely, UNS S32101, UNS S31803, and UNS S32750—were tested in 1 mol/L sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions. Results showed good reproducibility with a typical standard deviation of below 3°C. The critical pitting temperature (CPT) for the same specimens was also investigated in 1 mol/L NaCl solutions. An approximately 20°C decrease from CPT to critical crevice temperature (CCT) was observed and subsequently explained. Then, the morphologies of crevice corrosion were studied using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) method. The SEM/EDS study revealed that the ferrite phase was the site where preferential dissolution took place at the initiation step of crevice corrosion, which was in accordance with the prediction by calculating the critical crevice index. Moreover, repassivation was detected with the development of crevice corrosion. The reason was clarified by combining the results obtained with a successful diffusion model, and eventually the crevice corrosion progress was illustrated schematically.
