Conclusions
-
1.
Intergranular corrosion in austenitic high-silicon steels is caused by the precipitation in tempering at the boundaries of the recrystallized grains of a dispersed phase consisting of carbides, silicides, and carbosilicides. In this case the primary silicides may serve as bases for formation of dispersed silicides and carbides.
-
2.
In the austenitic-ferritic steels the formation of silicide phase in tempering occurs at the austenite-ferrite interface into the depth of the ferrite phase. In this case the intergranular corrosion resistance increases.
-
3.
Stabilization of the austenitic steels with niobium also causes an increase in their intergranular corrosion resistance.
