Corrosion and inhibition studies on AISI 316 with AISI 410 fiber laser welded joints

Abstract

In this investigation, the corrosion study was conducted on fiber laser welded joints of AISI 410 and 316L stainless steel plates using hydrochloric acid, basic, and salt medium, behavior in three different pH. The effects of three different corrosive atmospheres were examined using the weight loss method. The test sample which was exposed to 1 N hydrochloric acid medium for 48 Hours resulted in 0.006 g of weight loss. The maximum amount of corrosion was found in the acidic medium whereas the least was observed in the salt medium. The effectiveness of three distinct derivatives of 1H-indole-2,3-dione, each replaced with hydroxyl groups in various positions, in inhibiting corrosion. Among the three derivatives examined, it was observed that those with ortho and para hydroxyl group substitutions exhibited superior inhibitory properties.
