Intergranular corrosion in metallic frames of aircraft can lead to localized weakening and structural failure. This type of corrosion attacks the grain boundaries, which are important for maintaining the structural integrity of the material. Failure to detect and mitigate intergranular corrosion can compromise the safety of the aircraft and lead to catastrophic consequences.

The "L" suffix signifies this is the low carbon variant on this grade. See the composition limits listed in the material standard ASME Section II Part C for stainless steels in SFA 5.4 and 5.9 The low carbon grade is often used to protect from intergranular corrosion.
Electronegativity is related to corrosion through the formation of galvanic cells. When two different metals with different electronegativities are in contact in an electrolyte solution, one metal becomes the anode and corrodes while the other becomes the cathode and is protected from corrosion. The difference in electronegativity between the metals determines the rate of corrosion in the galvanic cell.
Manufacturers of tin cans prevent corrosion by coating the cans with a thin layer of tin or other protective coatings like lacquer. They may also add corrosion inhibitors to the canning solution to prevent oxidation. Proper sealing of the cans is also essential to prevent moisture from entering and causing corrosion.
No! That will create intergranular corrosion

Weld decay is a form of intergranular corrosion that occurs in stainless steel welds when they are exposed to certain environments, particularly those with high temperatures. This corrosion can lead to degradation of the weld's mechanical properties and overall performance. To prevent weld decay, proper welding techniques and selection of appropriate filler materials are crucial.
Sensitization happens when a stainless steel is held at an intermediate temperature (typically ~425 - 815 degrees Celsius) and chromium carbides precipitate at the grain boundaries. This precipitation of chromium carbides at the grain boundaries happens because the carbides are insoluble at these temperatures. In order for the carbide to precipitate, it must get chromium from the surrounding metal. This means that there is a chromium depleted zone around the grain boundaries. It should be apparent that this chromium depleted zone will be less corrosion resistant, specifically to intergranular corrosion. Sensitization is particularly important in metals that are welded. This is because the welding zone experiences temperatures in the range that can cause sensitization. This can cause localized intergranular corrosion at the weld site.

SS 321 contains titanium which makes it more corrosion resistant than SS 304. SS 321 is better suited for high temperature applications due to its improved resistance to intergranular corrosion. SS 304 is a general-purpose stainless steel with good overall corrosion resistance but not as high as SS 321.
Any solution that is responsible for corrosion of substances is a corrosive solution. Most commonly we use iron's rusting as an example of corrosion which is formed by moisture in air. Some commonly known corrosive solutions are Hydrochloric acid, Iron(III) chloride, HF, Aqua fortis, Acetic acid, Hydroxylammonium nitrate, Aqua regia .

It will help, but a much better solution is to remove the battery cables, clean the connections and then use baking soda to neutralize the corrosion.
Yes an acid can cause corrosion. It depends on the material considered and the concentration of the acid. The reaction involved in the corrosion process in acidic solution is the cathodic reduction of Hydrogen ion H+ to give Hydrogen gas H2. H+(solution) + electron -----> H2 (gas) the metal corrosion reaction is the anodic oxidation: Metal -------> Metal n+ + n electrons This is for example the corrosion process of Iron or Carbon Steel in contact with an acidic solution. Stainless Steel or Nickel alloy are more resistant to acid solution and are corrored only by some acids. V. Acids results in over $12 billion of corrosion related costs a year in mining, pulp & paper manufacturing, petroleum refining, and chemical manufacturing. Acid resistant plating (high phosphorus electroless nickel) is commonly used to limit corrosion in highly acidic environments.
