The crevice corrosion performance of Alloy 22 was tested under potentiostatic polarization more positive than the repassivation potential in 4 M NaCl solution at 100°C. Under this aggressive condition, crevice corrosion initiated under the crevice contacts and four stages of corrosion behavior were observed: initiation, propagation, stifling ͑corrosion slowed͒, and arrest ͑corrosion stopped͒. During the exposure, dark green deposits were found on the uncorroded metal surface around the crevice contacts, light green precipitations were found in the test solution, and the solution color changed from clear to light green. After exposure, loose black corrosion products were found under the crevice contacts. Surface analyses at the sites of varying corrosion penetrations showed similar composition depth profiles, and the results indicated that a 3-5 nm thick, chromium-rich oxide film was formed on the alloy surface. The composition depth profiles indicated that the crevice corrosion occurred by a uniform, nonselective dissolution. Surface analysis results showed that the corrosion products in the crevice were rich in O, enriched with Mo and W, and depleted of Ni and Cr relative to the bulk alloy. A solution analysis showed that Ni was the main element dissolved into the solution during the exposure. Alloy 22 ͑UNS N06022͒, a nickel-chromium-molybdenum ͑Ni-Cr-Mo͒ alloy, has a high uniform corrosion resistance in oxidizing environments and a superior corrosion resistance in reducing corrosion media. It also exhibits an excellent resistance to localized corrosion, such as pitting and crevice corrosion in low pH, high chloride oxidizing environments. The corrosion resistance of Alloy 22 is due to a passive film on the alloy surface. For Alloy 22, the uniform corrosion rate is very low in a wide range of solutions.1,2 The corrosion rate of Alloy 22 in brine solution decreases with increasing immersion time, and the corrosion rate is less than 30 nm/year after more than 250 days of immersion in highly concentrated brine solutions at 100°C.1 Localized corrosion is an important degradation mode to be evaluated for the corrosion performance of Alloy 22 over long exposure periods, and it has been examined by a number of researchers.3-13 Many factors affecting the localized corrosion behavior of Alloy 22 have been studied, such as the effects of Cl − and oxyanions, 3,4,[14][15][16] the effects of potential and temperature, 5,17 and the propagation and stifling of the crevice corrosion. 5,9,18,19 During the crevice corrosion process, corrosion products are formed. Corrosion products can exist as gas phase, such as hydrogen, soluble species, and insoluble corrosion precipitations. The composition and structure of the corrosion products give evidence to the discernment of the corrosion propagation and arrest processes. The insoluble corrosion products formed in the crevice can increase the ohmic resistance, and they can also affect transport in solution. The increase in ohmic resistance changes the potential distribution in the cre...
