Abstract

In the first part of this review a number of theoretical aspects of the mechanism of crevice corrosion are dealt with, mainly related to the crevice attack of stainless steels in chloride-containing solutions. Next the test methods are discussed, paying attention to the geometrical conditions and the electrochemical test procedure. A number of practical applications are given, both as regards mechanistic testing and also for ranking purposes. Finally a selected review is given of the results obtained during the past few years.
