Abstract
As a nondestructive and sensitive method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) can be used to investigate the passivation and breakdown of passive films on steel. In this study, EIS, combined with slow strain rate test and scanning electron microscopy, was employed to study the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of 2205 duplex stainless steel in 0.5 m sulfuric acid solution under hydrogen-charging conditions. Results showed that the corrosion resistance of passive film on the hydrogen-charged specimen was lower than that for the specimen with no hydrogen charge. Hydrogen-induced cracking was evident after the specimens had been charged for 24 h. The phase shift in EIS, calculated from frequencies between 0.1 and 10 Hz, could be used to monitor the SCC process.
