5. Physical properties for use

5.1 Corrosion resistance

Corrosion causes a loss of mass and a change in surface finish, which depends on a number of factors.

Corrosion resistance is influenced by chemical composition, metallographic structure, inclusions, mechanical stress and surface finish.

The action of the given corrosive medium, containing different chemicals, is conditioned by concentrations, temperatures, impurities, bacteriological state, local differences in oxygen concentration...
