چکیده
In this work the different contributions to the thermoelectric power (TEP) measurement during the dissolution process of M23C6 carbides in an X45Cr13 stainless steel have been evaluated. Thus, the influences of carbon and chromium contents in solid solution in the austenite, the austenite grain boundaries and the microstructure on the TEP have been determined.

Electrochemical Characterization of a Martensitic Stainless Steel
This paper focused on the characterization of electrochemical behavior of a martensitic stainless steel in the acidic solutions. For this purpose, electrochemical parameters were derived from potentiodynamic polarization, Mott Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The potentiodynamic polarization results showed that corrosion current density of AISI 420 ...
