In order to obtain the relation between an intergranular corrosion behavior and an impurities for stainless steel, cellular automata modeling and simulation of intergranular corrosion was carried out. From intergranular corrosion simulation considering non-uniform phosphorus component distribution on grain boundary, it suggested that complicated intergranular corrosion shape as in experimental data was caused by the large precipitation of phosphorus compounds in part of grain boundary.
