The corrosion rates of the specimens at semi-submerged location for all the tests are higher than the other locations. The most effected area in test specimens was found at water line zone. This attack could be due to the formation of differential aeration cell. Due to low oxygen solubility in water the oxygen concentration will be higher above the water surface. The pitting with different depths was found in all the alloys surface except alloy 625. The maximum depth of attack was found to follow the sequence (in decreasing order):
Carbon steel > 304 S> 316L SS > 90/10 Cu/Ni> 70/30 Cu/Ni> alloy 825.
Table (10) shows the pit depth corrosion results on stainless steel alloys. Figure (2) through Figure (4) shows the relation between molybdenum content and corrosion rate in three locations namely, above seawater level, semi-submerged and submerged, respectively. In all the three figures the corrosion rate decreases with increasing molybdenum content. In semi-submerged and submerged conditions, the rate of decreasing corrosion rate of Incoloy 825 as compared with 316L SS could be attributed to the high content of chromium in Incoloy 825.
Figure (5) through Figure (7) show the relation between molybdenum content and pit depth for different alloys exposed at above seawater level, semi-submerged and submerged respectively. In semi-submerged area the high level of chromium content and presence of titanium to Incoloy 825 are responsible for decreasing of pit depth as compare with 316L SS which has similar level of molybdenum content.
The Pitting Resistance Equivalent with nitrogen consideration (PREN) was calculated for stainless steel and nickel based alloys following the equation:
PREN = % Cr + 3.3 × % Mo + 16 × % N
The relations between PREN and pit depth at three locations (above seawater level, semi-submerged and fully merged) are shown in Figure (8) through Figure (10) respectively. In submerged zone at low values of PREN, small change in PREN will give significant change in pitting resistance at propagation stage. But at high value of PREN, the change in pit depth is small with changing of PREN. At semi-submerged and above seawater level locations, significant improvement in pitting resistance is found at propagation stage with increasing PREN.
