Corrosion Protection of 416 Stainless Steel Firing Probes

Abstract

The effectiveness of several protective coatings in resisting pitting corrosion in 416 stainless steel 152mm firing probes was investigated using an accelerated corrosion test. Test specimens with selected metallic and non- metallic coatings were immersed in ferric chloride and examined periodically for damage. This report concludes that on the basis of these tests, the non-metallic coatings investigated generally provided better resistance to corrosive attack than the metallic coatings investigated.
