Introduction

0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) is a stainless steel alloy used for the manufacture of components for a wide range of industrial applications, from aerospace to automotive. One of the benefits of 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) is its excellent corrosion resistance, which ensures its long-term reliability in different aggressive environments, such as salt spray and soils with varying acidities.

In the current era, considering the potential for corrosion is relevant for any material selection process as preventing expensive failures can provide significant financial savings. For this reason, it is essential to consider the corrosion resistance of a material when selecting it. Therefore, in the present study, an evaluative assessment of the corrosion resistance of 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) has been conducted.

Corrosion Resistance Evaluation

The 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) corrosion resistance was evaluated in different environments and temperatures. In the first instance, a corrosion resistance assessment was conducted in a salt spray chamber. In this chamber, a 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) sample was exposed to a synthetic atmosphere with a salinity of 5 % for three days. The results measured by the corrosion rate showed that 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) outperformed the requirements for durability defined by the ASTM A967 specification, which states that the corrosion rate under those environmental conditions must be less than 6.2 mm/year. As a result of these results, 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) was concluded to possess excellent corrosion resistance in salt spray environments.

Subsequently, the 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) corrosion resistance was assessed in natural soil environments in order to evaluate its durability in those conditions. The soil was collected from a nearby agricultural field, and its concentration of metallic cations was determined to be approximately equal to the values reported by Mg/Ca ratio of 3 and a pH of 4.3. The sample of 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) was deposited in the soil and left for one week. The results revealed that 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) presented corrosion rates lower than the established standards.

Finally, the corrosion resistance of 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) was evaluated at different temperatures. The results showed that the corrosion rate decreased when the temperature was raised from +20°C to +50°C, suggesting that the corrosion resistance of 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) increases with the temperature.

Conclusion

The present study concluded that 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) poses excellent corrosion resistance in artificial and natural environments. The corrosion rate obtained in the salt spray chamber was lower than that established in the ASTM A967, while in the soil environment the corrosion rate was equally lower than the established standards. Finally, the analyses of 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) at different temperatures revealed that the corrosion resistance of this alloy increases as the temperature rises. These studies provide evidence that 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al(PH13–8Mo) is highly resistant to corrosion, making it a ideal material for the design and manufacture of mechanical components for a large range of applications.
