Abstract
Pitting potential measurements were performed by potentiodynamic scanning at 200 mV/hr in and in , each saturated with nitrogen. Over the entire temperature range studied, 1°–70°C, molybdenum additions up to the limit of solid solubility caused a continuous increase in the pitting potentials of 18% Cr ferritic stainless steels. Exposure tests were also performed in various chloride‐containing environments, and it was found that pitting rate decreased as the molybdenum content increased.Keywords
