Can we use Galvele’s critical acidification model to estimate the localized corrosion resistance of engineering stainless steels?
Short answer: yes; long answer: it is complicated.

Tribute to Professor José Rodolfo Galvele
The year 2016 marked the 40th anniversary of Prof. Galvele, critical acidification model. CORROSION Journal dedicated January’s issue (CORROSION Vol. 73 Issue no. 1) to honor Galvele’s legacy.
