Analysis of the intergranular corrosion susceptibility in stainless steel by means of potentiostatic reactivation tests

In this work, the sensitization susceptibility of four sensitized stainless steels was investigated by means of potentiostatic reactivations tests. In addition, chronoamperometric tests and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations of the specimens surfaces were performed in order to analyze the evolution of the corrosion morphologies.
