Resistance stainless steels

Austenitic stainless steels resist corrosion at levels of chloride contamination greater than that which can be resisted by epoxy-coated bar. 

Austenitic stainless steels resist oxidation by either oxygen-bearing or sulfur-bearing process streams. Austenitic stainless steel pipe is not foolproof simply because it has corrosion resistance. Many plant operators are too optimistic, feeling that tight temperature controls are unnecessary with austenitic stainless steels. If... 

While the same basic mechanisms for passivity of pure metals also applies to alloys, the processes involved in the passivation of alloys have an added complexity. In many cases only one component of the alloy has the property of being passive in a particular environment. Alloys such as steiinless steels, which contain highly passive components (chromium in this case), owe their corrosion resistance to the surface enrichment of the passivating component Thus stainless steels resist corrosion in many acidic systems (where iron or carbon steel would be poorly passive or not passive at all) by a passivating oxide film containing Cr predominantly as Cr(III). Surface analytical techniques such as Auger electron and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies reveal substantial enrichment of chromium in the passivating oxide film on these alloys " . There are only two ways by which this enrichment can... 

When dry (0.1 percent moisture or less), nitrogen dioxide is not corrosive to mild steel at ordinary temperatures and pressures. Numerous metals and alloys such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, and Inconel are satisfactory for handling and storage. Under wet conditions, stainless steels resistant to about 60 percent nitric acid serve best.

The austenitic stainless steels resist hydrogen effects, but martensitic and precipitation-hardening alloys may be susceptible to both hydrogen stress cracking and chloride stress cracking. 

Type 330 stainless steel resists the absorption of carbon and nitrogen, making it an excellent choice for furnace components. Overall, it exhibits a good corrosion resistance.
