摘要
A series of analyses were conducted on samples of an austenitic type 304 stainless steel that exhibited a high degree of sensitization (DOS) after being subjected to a solution annealing treatment at 1050 degrees C. The DOS was detected by electrochemical potentiokinetic tests. Examination by scanning electron microscopy of etched samples revealed the presence of delta-ferrite within the austenitic matrix, and of the segregation of chromium and nickel in either phase; images obtained by atomic force microscopy revealed localized attack at the austenite/delta-ferrite interface. It was found that the DOS and the ferrite number of the steel were reduced as the material was held at the solution temperature for longer times. Aging at 650 degrees C showed precipitation of chromium carbides at grain boundaries and at the austenite/6-ferrite interface; this treatment increased the DOS.
