“…The increase in the CPT of stainless steel with alloying additions can be predicted by the PREN, which is calculated using the chemical composition of the stainless steel, with a primary focus on the chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), and nitrogen (N) content. 25,40 It is widely accepted that a higher PREN value indicates higher resistance to localized pitting corrosion. As can be seen in Table I, The PRENs for 316L, 317L, 904L, 2205, and 2507 are 24.5, 28.7 32.9, 35,1, and 44.5, respectively.…”
