The influence of deformation on the corrosion properties of the material

This work was focused on changes of corrosion behaviour influence of deformation. The This work focuses on changes in corrosion behaviour under the influence of deformation. The main purpose is to observe the changes caused by tensile stress. The experimental material used is steel 1.4301 and titanium GRADE 2. The measurements were carried out using a potentiostat, which measures potential changes over time and electric current. The electrolyte used was 3.5% NaCl. Corrosion properties, especially polarization resistance, corrosion potential and corrosion rate, were evaluated from the measurements. The results demonstrate the changing corrosion properties depending on deformation. The corrosion properties worsened as the deformation increased.
