Electrochemical Properties of Alloys (VIII). Effect of Molybdenum on the Anodic Behaviour of Iron-Chromium, Iron-Nickel and Iron-Chromium-Nickel Alloys

Abstract

The effect of addition of 1∼3% molybdenum as alloy element on the anodic behaviour has been studied in 5% sulphuric acid solution for the binary 18% Cr-Fe, 8% Ni-Fe and 12% Ni-Fe alloys and the ternary 18% Cr-8% Ni-Fe and 18% Cr-12% Ni-Fe alloys, and some of the possible relations between the results obtained and the corrosion-resisting properties of stainless steels containing molybdenum were interpreted.
