The pitting susceptibility of stainless steels with (%) 17.39 Cr, 5.3 Ni, 0.3–13.9 Mn in chloride solutions have been studied by a potentiodynamic cyclic polarization technique in solutions 0.1 N H 2 SO 4 + 0.9 N Na 2 So 4 + various amounts of NaCl. At low NaCl concentrations no pronounced influence of the chloride can be found and even at medium concentrations the passivation behaviour is generally maintained; in this region, however, there is an increase of dissolution and passivation current densities. High chloride concentrations, however, result in pitting which may be completely suppressed by a cyclic (anodic/cathodic) polarization technique. As to pitting resistance an alloy containing (%) 17.3 Cr, 5.3 Ni, 5.6 Mn is comparable to the steel CrNi 18 9.
