Abstract
KUMAR, Pradeep and SHETTY, A. Nityananda. Corrosion Behaviour of 18%Ni M250 Grade Maraging Steel under Welded Condition in Hydrochloric Acid Medium. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2013, vol.31, n.1, pp.21-32. ISSN 0872-1904. https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.201301021.
The corrosion behaviour of welded maraging steel in hydrochloric acid solutions was studied over a range of acid concentration and solution temperature by electrochemical techniques like Tafel extrapolation method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion rate of welded maraging steel increases with the increase in temperature and concentration of hydrochloric acid in the medium. The energies of activation, enthalpy of activation and entropy of activation for the corrosion process were calculated. The surface morphology of the corroded sample was evaluated by surface examination using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
