Abstract
Welded samples of mild steel and stainless steel have been exposed to seawater at 25 degree C and 60 degree C. Under the conditions studied, the welding operation did not cause any significant effects on corrosion behavior, either of plates of stainless steel welded together or of samples of stainless steel welded to mild steel, except for the expected production of a galvanic couple in the latter case. There was a general tendency for all mild-steel, welded samples to undergo enhanced corrosion at the weld but with significant differences in the degree of weld attack according to the welding process parameters and dissolved oxygen content of the seawater. The observations are discussed in terms of their application to distillation plant and also with respect to corrosion mechanisms.
