Abstract
This review describes the five metallurgical classifications of stainless steel, the five distinct corrosion mechanisms, welding guidelines and selection methods. Characteristics and specific types of each class of stainless steel are given. Next, the five corrosion mechanisms are explained and guidelines are presented for selecting the proper stainless steel for each corrosive environment. Welding guidelines for proper installation are listed. Finally a selection procedure is
suggested for choosing the proper stainless steel for each corrosive
environment.
Keywords: stainless steel, stainless steel types, corrosion, stainless steel corrosion, corrosion mechanisms, stainless steel welding, alloy selection
