Abstrakt: The intergranular corrosion (IGC) behaviors of welded joints of 316LN stainless steel with different welding heat input were investigated in this study. The boiling nitric acid method was chosen to provide the IGC environment. The corrosion rates of different specimens were studied and the micro-structures of each zone (base material, heat affected zone and weld zone) were analyzed in detail. The results show that welding heat input affects IGC resistance remarkably and low welding heat input can reduce the IGC tendency. The IGC test can be divided into three stages, i.e. the initial corrosion stage, stable corrosion stage and rapid corrosion stage. The IGC resistance of WZ for 316LN stainless steel is better than that of BM and HAZ due to the beneficial role of delta ferrite.
