Corrosion resistance of stainless steel welded joints in alkali solutions (Review)

A.G. Aleksandrov, Yu.N. Savonov

Zaporizhya State Technical University, Zaporizhya, Ukraine

Abstract
Corrosion behaviour of stainless steel welded joints in alkali solutions in the production of pulp by a kraft-method has been investigated. The corrosion potential of steels is within the passive region, the region of an active-passive transition or near the transpassive region of potentials. Under these conditions the welded joints are susceptible to a corrosion cracking, while weld metal is prone to a selective corrosion.
Keywords: welded joints, stainless steels, alkali solutions, corrosion cracking, weld metal, general corrosion
