Abstract

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the corrosion behavior of ferritic grade AISI 444 and to compare its performance with the austenitic grade AISI 304 and low carbon steel AISI 1010 in the corrosive medium of raw sugarcane juice. General corrosion and pitting corrosion behavior of AISI 444, AISI 304 and AISI 1010 steels in sugarcane juice was investigated using traditional weight loss method and cyclic polarization scan. Crevice corrosion tests were also conducted, as per ASTM standard G 78. It is observed that the corrosion performance of AISI 444 as compared to AISI 1010 is far superior and comparable to that of AISI 304 grade steel.
