“…Currently, the relation between sensitization and the pitting corrosion susceptibility of austenitic SSs is the subject of numerous studies [ 13 , 14 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. In addition to the effect of chromium-depleted zones, the authors of [ 14 , 20 , 21 ] presented the role of MnS inclusions on the pitting corrosion initiation of sensitized austenitic SSs. According to the available references, most electrochemical PP tests were carried out on the ground surface in pH neutral chloride solutions at room temperature [ 14 , 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”
