Abstract
The electrochemical behaviour of AISI 316L steel and its constituent metals in simulated Kraft digester white liquor at 170 °C has been studied by registering slow scan rate voltammograms and impedance spectra at the corrosion potential. Interpretation of the results in terms of two approaches – the Mixed-Conduction Model for passive films and a two-step dissolution reaction – allowed for the estimation of corrosion currents and polarisation resistances as depending on the material and electrolyte medium. Tentative conclusions on the effect of sulphur-containing species in the white liquor on the corrosion mechanism of the studied materials are drawn.
