Abstract

Ferritic stainless steel (FSS) containg (11%~13%)Cr with low C and N has excellent comprehensive performances and thus can be widely applied in extensive fields such as automobile exhaust systems, containers, buses and so on. Among them, 409L steel containing 11%Cr has been increasingly used in applications for tail pipes in the cold end parts of automobile exhaust systems because of its good corrosion resistance and moderate price. During the manufacture process for these tail pipes, improper heat treatments and welding operations cause the precipitation of some detrimental phases such as carbides, nitrides, which leads to a reduction on the resistance to intergranular corrosion (IGC) due to the presence of Cr-depleted zone in the grain boundaries. In this work, the precipitates in grain boundaries of 409L steel aged at 600 ℃ were investigated using TEM, EDS and SAED. The double loop-electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) method was extended for evaluating the IGC susceptibility of 409L steel. The operating conditions of the DL-EPR test for 409L steel were optimized by investigating the influences of the main test parameters, such as scanning rate, solution composition, solution temperature. The experimental results showed that the IGC occurred in aged 409L steel due to the precipitation of M₂₃C₆along grain boundaries. The optimized DL-EPR test could evaluate the IGC susceptibility of 409L steel quantitatively with high reproducibility. With the increase of aging time, much more M₂₃C₆ precipitated along grain boundaries, which resulted in 409L steel more susceptible to IGC.

Key words: 11Cr ferritic stainless steel double loop-electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation intergranular corrosion M₂₃C₆
