Are all super duplex stainless steels alike? Does tungsten additions have an influence on localized corrosion resistance?
Spoiler: it does, and it is remarkable.
Corrosion Resistant Alloys
Materials Selection and Corrosion Control in Subsea Oil and Gas Production – Lecture
This lecture describes various materials selection and corrosion control strategies for subsea oil and gas production systems. A brief discussion on carbon and low alloy steels as well as corrosion resistance alloys is presented alongside fundamental corrosion concepts.
Use of electrochemical techniques to determine localized corrosion resistance of 25% Cr Super Duplex Stainless Steels: effect of tungsten — Presentation
Does tungsten in super duplex stainless steel improve localized corrosion resistance?
In this presentation, the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance of super duplex stainless steels with different tungsten contents was analyzed using various electrochemical techniques.
The work was presented at the 16th Nordic Corrosion Conference.
Use of electrochemical techniques to determine the effect of Sigma phase (σ-phase) precipitation on a 25% Cr Super Duplex Stainless Steel (Paper no. C2015-5595)
This blog entry provides the link to download our final NACE CORROSION 2015 publication on the effect of σ-phase precipitation on localized corrosion of super duplex stainless steels.
ISO 15156-3 will set new restrictions on UNS S174000 (17-4PH)
This article describes the results of a recent NACE MR0175/ ISO 15156 ballot that imposes stringent maximum allowable stress values.
About pitting and repassivation potentials
What are the pitting and repassivation potentials? Is there a correlation between these critical potentials and localized corrosion resistance?
