What corrosion resistence of steel is improved by adding what alloying element?

The corrosion resistance of steel is significantly improved by adding chromium. When chromium is added to steel, it forms a thin, protective layer of chromium oxide on the surface, which prevents further oxidation and protects against rusting. This is particularly evident in stainless steels, which contain at least 10.5% chromium, enhancing their durability in corrosive environments. Other elements like nickel and molybdenum can also contribute to improved corrosion resistance in specific applications.


What is harder 316 stainless steel or 410 for shaft sleeves?

410 is a harder SS and it is readily harden-able as well! However, it has less corrosion resistance then 316.


Does 316sst have better corrosion resistance than 304sst in di water?

Compared to 304 grade stainless steel, the 316 has higher strength, can withstand higher temperatures, and yes it can resist corrosion better. One factor is the molybdenum content in the 316 grade which gives it the overall corrosion resistant properties. The downside, 316 stainless steel grade is way more expensive than 304.


What is boiler corrosion?

How does phosphoric acid affect the corrosion resistance of stainless steel?

Phosphoric acid can decrease the corrosion resistance of stainless steel by promoting the formation of localized corrosion, such as pitting and crevice corrosion. This is due to the acid's ability to break down the protective passive film on the stainless steel surface, making it more susceptible to corrosion.


Corrosion in a circuit results in high current flow?

When there is corrosion in a circuit, it results in lower current flow. This is because corrosion actually causes resistance.

The resistance of diamond to corrosion is a chemical property?

No, the resistance of diamond to corrosion is a physical property. Chemical properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances chemically, while physical properties describe characteristics such as color, melting point, or resistance to corrosion. In the case of diamond, its strong covalent bonds make it resistant to corrosion by most chemicals, making it a physical property.
