Abstract
In this investigation three alloy compositions of Fe–Al–Mn system were prepared for corrosion testing using an arc furnace with a protective atmosphere of argon, and using commercial iron, electrolytic manganese, pure aluminum, silicon and carbon. The alloys were melted into 75 g bar—shaped ingots. The anodic polarization, cyclic polarization and Tafel extrapolation techniques were applied to study and evaluate the corrosion resistance of austenitic Fe–Al–Mn alloy steels in a sulfuric acid adjusted to a pH of 2.4 and in 3.56 wt% NaCl. Though the mechanical properties and the oxidation resistance of these alloys have been reported to be comparable or superior to 18 % chromium-8 % Nickel austenitic stainless steels, the corrosion resistance was found to be poor and certainly not comparable to those of 18 % Chromium-8 % Nickel stainless steels.
