    Abstract

    Electrochemical behaviour of cold-worked 316L stainless steel was investigated. Cold-worked 316L stainless steel samples (as-received, 22% and 40%) were prepared by cold-rolling and their electrochemical properties were determined using a potentiodynamic polarization technique in 1N H2SO4 and 3.5% NaCl solutions. The results show that the cold-working have little effect on typical electrochemical properties such as corrosion potential, passive current density in both of the solutions. However, the pitting resistance of the stainless steel was decreased by cold-working, which is considered to be moderated (mitigated) critical condition for stable pitting by the cold-working.
