The semiconducting properties of passive films with different chloride ion concentrations were performed using capacitance measurement and Mott-Schottky analysis methods. The aging precipitation and intergranular corrosion behavior were evaluated at 400- 900℃. It is found that the pitting potential decreases when the grain size increases. With the increase in chloride ion concentration, the doping density and the flat-bland potential increase but the thickness of the space charge layer decreases. The pitting corrosion resistance increases rapidly with the decrease in pH value. Precipitants is identified as Nb(C,N) and NbC, rather than Cr-carbide. The intergranular corrosion is attributed to the synergistic effects of Nb(C,N) and NbC precipitates and Cr segregation adjacent to the precipitates.展开更多

The results show that the partial replacement of C by N first reduces and then increases the size and content of precipitates in high nitrogen MSSs, and converts the dominant precipitates from M23C6 to M2N,furthermore first improves and then deteriorates the IGC resistance. The high nitrogen MSS containing medium C and N contents provides good combination of mechanical properties and IGC resistance.展开更多
