The duplex stainless steel 1.4062 (X2CrNiN22-2) is used as alternative material to austenitic stainless steels in the construction industry. The corrosion resistance of welded seams is influenced by the base material, the weld filler material, the welding process and also by the final surface treatment. The scale layer next to the weld seam can be removed by grinding, pickling, electro-polishing or blasting depending on the requested corrosion resistance. Blasted surfaces are often used in the industrial practice due to the faster and cheaper manufacturing process compared to pickled or electro-polished surfaces. Furthermore blasting with corundum-grain is more effective than blasting with glass-beads which also lower the process costs. In recent years, stainless steel surfaces showed an unusually high susceptibility to pitting corrosion after grinding with corundum. For this reason, it is now also questioned critically whether the corrosion resistance is influenced by the applied blasting agent. This question was specifically investigated by comparing grinded, pickled, corundum-grain- and glass-bead-blasted welding seams. Results of the SEM analyses of the blasting agents and the blasted surfaces will be presented and correlated with the results of different corrosion tests (KorroPad-testing and pitting potentials).
In the context of a research project carried out by BAM, nine different steel alloys were exposed to maritime environmental conditions at the German Island of Helgoland over a period of five years and their corrosion behavior was compared and evaluated. In order to evaluate the influence of a possible concentration of corrosion specific crucial air constituents on the investigated steel grades, a series of sample surfaces were freely exposed to the we ather while other samples were protected from direct rain in a covered area. The parallel investigation of four different surface finishes (cold rolled, dry grinded, electro-polished, blasted) of the respective alloys also made it possible to take account of the specific influences and features of the surface finish during the material comparison. On the basis of the results of the natural exposure tests, conclusions were drawn about the influence of the alloy composition, the surface finish and the exposure time under maritime conditions. The samples of the three investigated duplex alloys exhibited the best corrosion resistance under the given maritime environmental conditions over the five-year period, both with and without crevice geometry. Likewise, the molybdenum alloy ferrite 1.4521 could achieve comparable corrosion resistance as the austenitic standard materials 1.4301 and 1.4404. The results on the freely exposed surfaces showed, that due to the washing effect the influence of the exposure time on the corrosion of the samples is low while the particular surface finish has a great influence on the overall corrosion behavior of the stainless steels. Thus, the electro-polished surfaces showed few signs of corrosion while the blasted surfaces exhibited very poor corrosion behavior. In the case of the covered specimens, the respective material-specific corrosion resistance as well as the exposure time have a significant influence on the corrosion behavior while the surface finishes were of marginal importance.
