What is the ASTM G48 test?

ASTM G48 is a corrosion test used as a measure of pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steels.

What is stress corrosion cracking?

Stress corrosion cracking is a form of failure resulting from the combination of corrosive conditions and tensile stresses within an item.

Does austenitic stainless steel rust?

Under the wrong circumstances, all forms of stainless steel will corrode or rust.

What is a pitting resistance equivalent number?

The Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number is a helpful theoretical way of comparing the pitting corrosion resistance of various alloys.

What can cause dezincification?

Dezincification is a problem unique to brasses i.e. alloys of copper and zinc.

How to prevent galvanic corrosion

There are a variety of approaches to limit the likelihood and impact of galvanic corrosion.

How to prevent galvanic corrosion between aluminum and stainless steel

There are a number of different approaches to limit the likelihood or impact of galvanic corrosion occuring.

What is galvanic corrosion?

Galvanic corrosion is an electrochemical process that exists when two dissimilar metals are in contact with one another via an electrolyte.

How to remove fretting corrosion

As fretting corrosion will likely result in the removal of a significant proportion of the metal surface, the impact of it cannot be removed.

What is fretting corrosion?

Fretting is the action of two metal surfaces rubbing against each other, resulting in mechanical damage.

What are the consequences of crevice corrosion?

The consequences of crevice corrosion are generally more severe than for pitting corrosion.

What are the consequences of pitting corrosion?

The impact of pitting corrosion will depend upon the extent and depth of the corrosion pits that are formed.
