    Critical Pitting Temperature (CPT)

    Hello all, I have some questions relating to how to interpret CPT data. 1. Can the CPT be viewed as a maximum value to not go beyond? If you stay below the CPT, no pitting? If you go above does breakdown automatically occur? 2. I know that CPT test are done with a 6% ferric chloride...

    PREN equation

    My thanks to all for the helpful information. The responses have put another question in my mind. mcguire - Can polishing of electro-polishing (in order to obtain desired surface roughness)in 316L expose surface sulfides? Also, I am looking for reference information that puts forth a maximum...

    PREN equation

    I have seen the formula for pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN) presented with different values of the multiplier for percent Nitrogen. I have seen 13,16 and even 30 used. Which is correct. Also, Does anyone know where this formula was first presented? Was it by ASTM, ASM, NACE...

    Stainless Steel containing NaCl solution

    Hello, We have an application at our plant that calls for storage of a product solution that is 18% NaCl at temps up to 70 deg C. Our existing 304L and 316L storage Tanks are exhibiting alot of pitting corrosion. Any thoughts on a good stainless alloy to look at for this application, possibly...
