RESUMO
Resumo Neste trabalho, o efeito da adição de Nb na sensitização e corrosão por pite de aço inoxidável ferrítico AISI 430 submetido à soldagem TIG foi investigado por caracterização microestrutural e técnicas eletroquímicas. As três regiões distintas do processo de soldagem, zona fundida, zona termicamente afetada e metal de base do aço AISI 430 com e sem Nb foram avaliadas. O grau de sensitização foi medido por reativação potenciodinâmica eletroquímica de “double loop” e a corrosão por pite foi estudada por testes de polarização potenciostática. As análises microestruturais revelaram uma fase martensítica na zona fundida e zona termicamente afetada do AISI 430 não estabilizado. Os estudos eletroquímicos mostraram que o maior grau de sensitização e o menor potencial de pite estão na zona fundida do aço sem adição de Nb. Abstract In this work, the effect of Nb addition on sensitization and pitting corrosion of welded AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel subjected to autogenous GTAW was investigated by microstructural characterization and electrochemical techniques. The three distinct regions of welding process, weld metal, heat affected zone and base metal of AISI 430 steel with and without Nb were evaluated. The degree of sensitization was measured by double loop electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation and pitting corrosion was studied by potentiostatic polarization test. The microstructural analyses reported martensite network in the weld metal and heat affected zone of AISI 430 non stabilized. The electrochemical studies revealed that the highest degree of sensitization and the lowest pitting potential are in the weld metal of AISI 430 without Nb.
