How to Prevent Localised Corrosion of Stainless Steel?
After talking about general corrosion in our previous blog post, today we would like to focus on another type of corrosion. In the specific, we shall treat, about localised corrosion. What is localised corrosion? Contrary to general corrosion, the localised corrosion only occur on certain parts of the metal surface. So, only locally. This corrosion […]
How Molybdenum, Nitrogen and Nickel Affects Steel Properties?
After speaking about aluminum, manganese, chromium and copper, in today post we will further focus our attention on three other alloying elements (molybdenum, nitrogen and nickel). And, most importantly, how each of them influences steel properties. Molybdenum: a transition metal Molybdenum (symbol Mo) is considered a transition metal thanks to its atomic number 42 on […]
How to Avoid Pitting Corrosion?
The pitting is likely the best known corrosion phenomena in relation to stainless steels. But what causes this phenomenon? And how can you avoid it? Pitting. What are its causes? Pitting is caused by local laceration of the passive layer. But how it originated? This phenomenon arises from the action of strongly activating elements such […]
