摘要

The corrosion behavior of 304L and a high Si-containing (HS) austenitic stainless steel (SS) in hot nitric acid solution containing Ce3+ or Ce4+ ions was investigated. Mass loss test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer were utilized. The results demonstrated that Ce3+ ions had minimal impact, whereas Ce4+ ions greatly enhanced the corrosion rates and cathodic reactions of 304L and HS SS, indicating the powerful oxidizing ability of Ce4+ ions. HS SS experienced uniform corrosion, while intergranular corrosion (IGC) was observed in 304L SS with significant enrichment of Cr and depletion of Fe and Ni at corroded grain boundaries. A novel mechanism distinct from conventional Cr-depleted regions was proposed to explain this phenomenon, and the low IGC sensitivity of HS SS was discussed.
