Cavitation Erosion–Corrosion Synergism of High Nitrogen Steel in Neutral and Chloride-Containing Environments

Key Points

• Erosion-corrosion synergism significantly affects the mechanical properties of high nitrogen steel in various environments.
• The study reports up to 50% degradation in corrosion resistance under chloride-containing conditions compared to neutral environments.
• The assessment involves a series of controlled experiments monitoring steel exposure to different corrosive settings.
• Understanding these interactions highlights the need for improved material designs in corrosive applications.
