Abstract:
The intergranular corrosion characteristics of 316LN austenitic stainless steel welded joints with different welding heat input in boiling nitric acid solution were investigated by metallography analysis and acoustic emission technology. The results show that the resistance to intergranular corrosion of welded joints deteriorated with the increasing welding heat input. The intergranular corrosion resistance of the weld zone is better than that of the heat affected zone and the base material. Five stages for the intergranular corrosion process can be differentiated according to the characteristics of the detected acoustic emission spectrum, such as oxidation, passivation, oxide film crack initiation, oxide film crack propagation and finally fast intergranular corrosion. In other words, in the acoustic emission spectrum, there exist an obvious energy peak by 20 kHz representing the oxidation signal; an obvious energy peak by 40 kHz of a burst-like signal representing the stage of passivation process; energy peaks in a range 80 to 100 kHz of burst-like signal representing the oxide film crack initiation; energy peaks by frequency of 60 kHz representing the stage of crack propagation; and finally a peak by 50 kHz of a burst-like signal with a slightly longer duration representing the stage of fast intergranular corrosion. ©, 2015, Chinese Journal of Materials Research.
