Passivity of AISI 316L stainless steel as a function of nitric concentration
Authors
Abstract:
In this study, electrochemical behaviour of passive films formed on AISI 316L stainless steel (AISI 316L) in three acidic solutions concentrations (0.3, 0.6, and 0.9M HNO3) under open circuit potential conditions were evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization, Mott–Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The potentiodynamic polarization results showed that the corrosion potentials of AISI 316L shift towards positive direction with increase in solution concentration. Also, these results reveal that the corrosion rate of AISI 316L is enhanced in solutions with higher nitric content. Mott–Schottky analysis revealed that passive films behave as p-type and n-type semiconductors at potentials below and above the flat band potential, respectively. Also, Mott–Schottky analysis indicated that the donor and acceptor densities increased with solution concentration. EIS data showed that the equivalent circuit Rs((RctQdl)(RfQf)) by two time constants is applicable. Also, EIS results reveal that the charge transfer resistance and passive film resistance decrease with solution concentration.

Austenitic stainless steels (ASSs) have an excellent corrosion resistance but relatively-low hardness and yield strength [1,2], leading to limited usage in applications that high values of hardness and wear resistance is necessary for material surface. Therefore, surface properties such as hardness must be improved using appropriate techniques. Mechanical surface treatments such as ultrasonic s...
