Abstract
This study investigated the impact of homogenization annealing temperature and time on the intergranular corrosion (IGC) behavior of super ferritic stainless steel (SFSS) S44660. The results revealed the high susceptibility of IGC in S44660 was due to an intergranular chromium-depleted zone resulting from the precipitation of M23C6 along grain boundaries. Furthermore, IGC resistance was restored after treatment under three homogenized annealing conditions: 750 °C for 5 min, 780 °C for 2 min, and 800 °C for 30 s. This restoration was attributed to intragranular chromium atoms diffusing into the chromium-depleted zone during homogenization annealing, compensating for chromium loss from carbide precipitation. It has been confirmed that the self-healing of IGC in S44660 occurs through the process of controlling chromium diffusion by homogenizing annealing.
