摘要
Friction stir welded low chromium AISI 409 M ferritic stainless steel was investigated for susceptibility to intergranular corrosion by oxalic and double-loop electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation tests, and the degree of sensitization were evaluated by the ratio of the reactivating and activating currents. Stir zone of friction stir welded joint exhibited smaller degree of sensitization compared to the base metal and it is mainly due to fine grains and lower heat input nature of friction stir welding process. Heat-affected zone showed larger current ratio and higher degree of sensitization compared to stir zone and base metal region and not to the extent that has been reported in the literature for arc welding.
