Methodology of crevice corrosion testing for stainless steels in natural and treated seawaters (EFC 60) PDF

Introduction

Crevice corrosion is a very important type of corrosion of stainless steels, and in chloride solutions such as seawater, it is often the factor determining the life of a construction. However, crevice corrosion has not always been recognised as a danger. This chapter describes how our understanding of the crevice corrosion mechanism has developed over the years and how different types of tests have come and sometimes gone. All seen from an industrial corrosion laboratory's viewpoint.
