The corrosion behavior and passivation mechanism of S32750 super-duplex stainless steel exposed in a simulated marine atmosphere were studied using electrochemical methods, XPS and SEM. Passivation and local corrosion occurred on the metal surface when S32750 SDSS was exposed in the simulated marine atmospheric …
Alloy 32750 is a super duplex stainless steel supplied in the solution annealed condition. As a super duplex stainless steel, it combines the desirable aspects of both austenitic and ferritic grades. The higher chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen contents result in a Pitting Resistance Equivalent number (PREN) of >41, providing pitting and
