An outgassing rate was measured for a stainless steel material of YUS130S, having a high-mangany content (Fe-18Cr-7Ni-11Mn-0.3N), and compared with that for a stainless steel of SUS304L. A surface processing of both electropolished and electrochemical buffing followed by an in-air oxidation was examined in order to investigate the outgas reduction effect in the case of with and without baking. Further, a depth profile of the surface composition was analyzed by glow-discharge emission spectroscopy (GDS). Based on the results, the outgassing rate of YUS130S was 35% lower than that of SUS304L, when electropolished and electrochemical buffing. The oxidation process in air at 723 K in the case of electrochemical buffing showed effect on the outgassing reduction in both YUS130S and SUS304L. The GDS observation shows that, by electropolishing, Cr-Mn-rich and Cr-rich passive films were formed on the YUS130S and SUS304L surface, respectively. By electrochemical buffing, passive films changed to more Fe-rich films. The further process of in-air-oxidation causes a change in oxide films to Fe-Mn-rich and Fe-rich characteristics for YUS130S and SUS304L respectively. The stainless steel with Mn-rich and Cr-poor passive films shows low outgassing rate.
