Tests reveal why titanium additions do not fully prevent pitting corrosion in stainless steel
Source: Phys.org · Published
Stainless steel is widely used for its corrosion resistance, but it is not invincible. In environments containing chloride ions, such as seawater, pitting corrosion can occur. These pits often start at tiny particles called inclusions embedded in the steel.
