This study focuses on the effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of welded austenitic stainless steel 304. A corrosion immersion test was employed to get the corrosion rate of the welded austenitic stainless steel 304. Corrosion immersion test was following standard ASTM G48 Ferric Chloride Pitting Test. The welded part of specimens was prepared by using gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Temperature of ferric chloride solution are the parameters that involve in determining corrosivity of welded austenitic stainless steel 304. Ferric chloride pitting test results showed that pitting corrosion on welded part of austenitic stainless steel are more severe in high temperature (60°C) than in low temperature (15°C). Furthermore, hardness test of welded part of austenitic stainless steel 304 decreases when tested in high temperature (60°C). Visual inspection and scanning electron microscope were used to examine the corrosion microstructure and morphology features of the specimens before and after corrosion attacked. 2018-01 Final Year Project NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://utpedia.utp.edu.my/19301/1/20190-FYP%20Dissertation.pdf Ahmad Rahim, Farhana Aqilah (2018) Corrosion Mechanism Study on Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel.
