Can we use Galvele’s critical acidification model to estimate the localized corrosion resistance of engineering stainless steels?
Short answer: yes; long answer: it is complicated.

Effect of Tungsten on the Pitting and Crevice Corrosion Resistance of Type 25Cr Super Duplex Stainless Steels – Publication
Are all super duplex stainless steels alike? Does tungsten additions have an influence on localized corrosion resistance?
Spoiler: it does, and it is remarkable.

Does an alternating current or electromagnetic field accelerate corrosion of carbon and low alloy steels? Check our new peer-reviewed article to find out!
Corrosion behavior of buried pipeline in presence of AC stray current in a controlled environment (Paper no. C2015-5588)
This blog entry provides the link to download our final NACE CORROSION 2015 publication on corrosion of carbon steel in the presence of alternate currents (AC). Elmira Ghanbari presents a model, based on fundamental corrosion principles, which estimates the effect of an applied AC interference on Faradaic processes leading to corrosion.
