Electrochemical post-weld cleaning: methods & procedures

摘要

When it comes to industrial or architectural applications, stainless steel is the material of choice due to its corrosion resistance. Stainless steel also has high endurance, can be easily fabricated and requires the least effort in maintenance. The industrial environment in which stainless steel is formed or machined is quite hostile and is not very conducive to corrosion resistance. The corrosion usually takes place in the welds. As result of this, pitting and structure failure can take place which could potentially lead to a disaster.
