Popis: The molybdenum and nitrogen content of super austenitic stainless steel in Cl− solution is shown to influence pitting resistance using immersion, electrochemical testing, and simulation. Variations in Mo and N content affect the defect density, resistance, and densification of the passive film, thereby reducing the number of pitting. A higher local pH associated with the pitting pits and an increase in NH3(NH4+) are the results of increased N content, which also slows the rate of pitting expansion. The combined effects of fewer actively reactive spots within the passive film retarded pitting, and decreased corrosion rates due to NH3(NH4+) mitigation of local acidity which serves to reduce the corrosion rate. The work function is improved to a greater extent when Mo and N are co-doped compared with individual Mo and N doping, and the adsorption energy is significantly increased when Mo and N are co-doped, indicating a synergistic role for Mo and N in the prevention of corrosion by Cl−.
