Performance of a highly alloyed stainless steel in marine environments

The report is focused on Sanicro 28, an alloy with 27% Cr, 31% Ni, 3.5% Mo, 1% Cu, and its performance as compared with that of AISI 316. The results of potentiostatic and potentiodynamic measurements in neutral and acid chloride solutions are presented. Equilibrium calculations on hydrolysis and chloride complexing have been made. Results of long‐term tests and practical experience are reported.
