Recommended :Earlier post "Crevice Corrosion Mechanism & Prevention" has briefly discussed mechanism of crevice corrosion and its prevention. As discussed, one of the preventive measures is to select correct material to resist crevice corrosion. Stainless Steel (SS) is known to resist to general corrosion by forming a thin, protective oxide film on it external surface, SS still susceptible to localized corrosion i.e. Chloride stress corrosion cracking (CSCC), crevice corrosion, pitting corrosion, etc once this protective film is partly damage. Stainless steel once expose to water (present of Chloride) with temperature higher than 60 degC, CSCC is potentially occurred. On the other hand, temperature lower than 60 degC, crevice and pitting corrosion is potentially occurred.
There are different grade of Stainless Steel i.e. SS304, SS316, S31803, S32205, etc. How Chloride [Cl] concentration, Sulfate [SO4] concentration, pH level, temperature, oxygen level, etc affecting crevice corrosion for different Stainless Steel ?
The Crevice Corrosion Engineering Guide for Stainless Steels (CCEG) is a program available FREE to check type of Stainless Steel susceptible to crevice corrosion in water under particular conditions and impurities. The CCEG is a program with predictive mathematical model of crevice corrosion to assist with the selection of stainless steels for use in chloride and sulphate containing waters, including sea water. It was jointly developed by Nickel Development Institute (NiDI) and Sheffield Testing Laboratories Ltd.
