摘要：
The objective of this work is to study the influence of cavitation on the corrosion behaviour of Alloy 31, a highly-alloyed austenitic stainless steel (UNS N08031), in a LiBr heavy brine solution (992 g/L) at 25 degrees C. The presence of cavitation shifted the OCP value towards the active direction by 708 mV(Ag/AgCl), increased anodic current densities and passivation current density, i(p), and reduced the pitting potential, E-p. Repassivation behaviour of Alloy 31 has been investigated by using potentiostatic tests at different potentials. The current density transient obtained after interrupting cavitation was used to obtain the repassivation index, n, provided by the slope of the log i(t) vs. log t representation. The value of n decreased as the applied potential was increased, reaching values near zero for potentials close to the pitting potential. The damage generated during the potentiostatic tests has been quantified by means of Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
