Abstract

As pitting corrosion is probably the most damaging type of wet corrosion, an understanding throughout industry of this phenomenon, which is the condition between complete immunity to attack and general corrosion, is essential. This article is concerned with pitting corrosion in general, but it also contains the results of some original research recently completed by the author on the corrosion pitting of stainless steels.
