“…These include the local buffering effect of N by formation of either NH 3 , NH 4 + , NO 3 + , nitride, etc., N impending active dissolution, enrichment in passive film, barrier layer, N-Mo synergism, N retarding Cr 23 C 6 precipitation, ferrite and deformationinduced a¢ and e, etc. ( 10,17,[26][27][28]38,39). However, based on the above observation, it can be summarized that the indigenously developed type 301LN stainless steel possesses better corrosion resistance compared to imported grade in chloride environment.…”
