Effect of temperature, chloride and dissolved oxygen concentration on the open circuit and transpassive potential values of 316L stainless steel at high-temperature pressurized water

The electrochemical performance of 316L stainless steel was investigated in high-temperature pressurized NaCl solutions. Variations of the transpassive potential (Et) and open circuit potential (OCP) of steel were analyzed using an experimental design strategy versus three factors namely temperature (T) (30 °C–350 °C), chloride [Cl−] concentration (10 ppb–1000 ppb) and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration (0 ppb–200 ppb) by conducting a short...
