Abstract

Passive films were compared on two stainless steels: the recent lean duplex EN 1.4162 and EN 1.4432 (316L). For alloys with significant amount of manganese and nickel, the Mn 2p3/2 peak will overlap with the Ni-LMM. To resolve this overlap, Ni 2p3/2 to Ni-LMM intensity ratios were recorded on 1.4432, compensated for overlayer thickness, and then used to fix the Ni-LMM intensities in the Mn 2p spectra on the duplex material. Manganese was found in oxidation states II and V/VI; its film content was not dependent on the bulk composition.
