Abstract

The effect of pit growth on repassivation potentials (Erp) of type 316L stainless steel (SS) and alloy 825 is investigated using a decreasing potential staircase technique. The Erp decreases initially with increasing pit depth and then attains a value which is relatively independent of pit depth. The Erp also decreases with increasing potential scan rate because of the decreasing time for repassivation with decreasing potential. The Erp, is explained in terms of the effect of applied potential on changes in solution composition inside growing pits and its use is recommended as a bounding parameter for long-term prediction of localized corrosion.
