Abstract
Metastable corrosion pit interactions on stainless steel under mechanochemical effects are investigated using a cellular automaton/finite element model. The transient current of metastable double pits increases faster after pit coalescence than that of metastable single pit. The mechanochemical effect becomes more significant with increasing pit depth. For metastable double pits, the corrosion pit near the load side grows more rapidly than that further away, with the growth direction tending towards the load side. After the pit cover is broken, the corrosion pit interactions can cause the metastable pits to enter the stable growth regime more easily.
