Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Steel 000Kh16N15M3 has a very low susceptibility to ICC only when the carbon concentration is below 0.02%. The depth of the attack is slight at tcr=650–700°C.

  2. 2.

    Alloying with niobium eliminates susceptibility to ICC at carbon concentrations up to 0.03%.

  3. 3.

    Up to 0.13% N has no effect on susceptibility to ICC in the steel with 0.003% C; at 0.03% C the susceptibility increases slightly.

  4. 4.

    Alloying with silicon reduces the resistance to intercrystalline corrosion.

  5. 5.

    Vacuum melts are somewhat more resistant to intercrystalline corrosion than open melts.
