Abstract
This chapter will discuss the processes that can cause chromium depletion in Fe—Ni—Cr alloys and the effect of the chromium-depleted layer on the subsequent corrosion resistance of the alloy. In general, the alloys discussed will be iron or nickel based. For completeness we will include alloys that contain constituents other than iron, nickel, or chromium, but only in cases where chromium depletion plays a major part in the process of interest.
Research sponsored by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission under contract with Union Carbide Corporation.
