The Effect of Cold Work and Thermal Aging on Intergranular and Transgranular Corrosion Failure of High Manganese Austenitic Stainless Steel
Source abstract
Abstract
The effects of thermal aging and prior cold work at 700 °C on the kinetics of sensitization (i.e., corrosion failure) of high-manganese austenitic stainless steel have been studied by conducting microstructural analysis, transmission electron microscopy analysis, and double-loop potentiostatic reactivation analysis. Thermal aging at 700 °C caused an increase in preferential grain boundary attack (dual and ditch type) and degree of sensitization, and the intensity of these effects increased with the increase in time duration of thermal aging. With cold working, a widespread grain area attack has been found with no preferential grain boundary attack; however, an increase in degree of sensitization values has been observed. Transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy showed the presence of carbides on the grain area, i.e., transgranular carbide precipitation. The findings conclude that the cold-worked thermal-aged high manganese austenitic stainless steel becomes susceptible to intergranular corrosion failure due to sensitization and transgranular corrosion.
