standard.
5. identify weld capping / final pass not exceeding allowable tolerance
specified by welding code / standards.
6. examine the finished weldment in accordance with welding standards
for spatters, arc strikes, slag inclusion, and uniformity of beads.

Let’s Explore and Discover

Stainless steel corrosion types
A very thin layer of chromium oxide which is formed on the surface of the
metal protects stainless steels against Corrosion. This passive layer can be
damaged by mechanical or chemical action. If the protecting layer is destroyed
in an aggressive environment, the material will corrode. Different types of
corrosion can occur and the choice of stainless steel is based on the
requirements from the actual environment.

General corrosion
This is a corrosion attack that proceeds at the same rate over the entire
surface. It occurs almost exclusively in acidic or strongly alkaline solutions.
The resistance against general corrosion is mainly improved by increasing the
content of Cr and Mo in the steel.

Intergranular corrosion
A localized attack at and adjacent to the grain boundaries is called
intergranular corrosion. Some stainless steels can be made sensitive to
intergranular corrosion by elevated temperatures (500 °C-900 °C) at which
carbide precipitation occurs at the grain boundaries resulting in Cr depleted
regions. These regions then have a decreased corrosion resistance. The
precipitation of chromium carbides can be prevented either by a low C content
or by a stabilizing element like Nb or Ti.

Pitting corrosion
This is a type of localized attack which is highly destructive, resulting in holes
in the metal. This kind of attack is most commonly found in stainless steel in
chloride containing environments. The resistance against pitting is improved
with increased Cr and Mo contents. Also N has a favourable influence. The
Pitting Resistance Equivalent, PRE, is a way of describing the relative influence
of the mentioned elements. One way of expressing PRE is: PRE = %Cr + 3.3 x
%Mo + 16 x %N. The maximum temperature at which a specimen in a special
test solution shows no signs of pitting corrosion is called the Critical Pitting
Temperature (CPT).
Crevice corrosion
Crevice corrosion is a kind of corrosion which occurs in narrow crevices filled
with a liquid and where the oxygen level is very low e.g., on gasket surfaces,
lap joints and under bolt and rivet heads. A special form of crevice corrosion is
called deposit corrosion. This is when the corrosion is found under non-
metallic deposits or coatings on the metal surface. Steels with good resistance
to pitting corrosion have also good resistance to crevice corrosion.

Stress corrosion cracking, SCC

Corrosion attacks on a metal subjected to a tensile stress and exposed to a
corrosive environment are called stress corrosion cracking (SCC). During
stress corrosion cracking the metal or alloy can remain virtually unattached
on most of its surface, while fine cracks progress through it. For austenitic
stainless steels the risk for SCC is especially big in solutions containing
chlorides or other halogens. The risk increases with increasing salt
concentration, tensile stress and also increased temperature. SCC is seldom
found in solutions with temperatures below 60 °C. The resistance of the
austenitic stainless steels is improved by increased Ni content. The ferritic Cr
steels totally without Ni are under normal conditions unsensitive for SCC as
well as steels which are ferritic austenitic.
