Abstract
The corrosion resistance and galvanic behaviour of a highly alloyed austenitic stainless steel (UNS N08031) and a nickel–base alloy (UNS N06059) in its welded (GTAW) and non-welded condition were analysed in LiBr solutions by means of electrochemical measurements. Samples microstructure was studied by SEM and EDX analysis. The alloys considered showed passive behaviour and they were able to repassivate after the breakdown of the passive film. The pitting resistance of the materials increased as the LiBr concentration decreased. With regard to galvanic corrosion, the welded metal was always the anodic element of the UNS N08031-welded metal pair.
