Source: Ref 1 Figure 5 shows the results of another portion of this project. Corrosion rates for a 3-year exposure of various cast steels, wrought steels, and malleable iron in both atmospheres are compared. The following conclusions can be drawn from these tests: • The condition of the specimen surface has no significant effect on the corrosion resistance of cast steels. Unmachined surfaces with the casting skin intact have corrosion rates simi lar to those of machined surfaces regardless of the atmospheric environment • The highest corrosion rate occurs in the marine atmosphere 24 m (80 ft) from the ocean, with lower but similar corrosion rates occurring in the industrial atmosphere and the marin e atmosphere 240 m (800 ft) from the ocean • The corrosion rate of cast steel decreases as a function of time, because corrosion products (scale and rust coating) build up and act as a protective coating on the cast steel surface. However, the corrosion rate of the most resistant cast steel (2% Ni) is always less than that of lesser corrosion- resistant cast steels • Cast steels containing small percentages of nickel, copper, or chromium as alloying elements have corrosion resistance superior to that of cast c arbon steels and those containing manganese when exposed to atmospheric environments • Increasing the nickel and the chromium contents of cast steel increases the corrosion resistance in all three of the atmospheric environments • All cast steels have greate r corrosion resistance than malleable iron in industrial atmospheres and are superior or equivalent to the wrought steels in this environment. The corrosion rate in the marine atmosphere depends primarily on the alloy content. The cast carbon steel is much superior to the AISI 1020 wrought steel, but is slightly inferior to malleable iron (Ref 1) Fig. 5 Comparison of corrosion rates of cast steels, malleable cast iron, and wrought steel after 3 years of exposure in two atmospheres. Source: Ref 1 Other Environments. Several low- and high-alloy cast steels have been studied regarding their corrosion resistance to high-temperature steam. Test specimens 150 mm (6 in.) in length and 13 mm ( -in.) in diameter were machined from test coupons and then exposed to steam at 650 °C (1200 °F) for 570 h. The steel compositions and test results are given in Table 2. Table 3 shows the resistance of cast steels to petroleum corrosion, and Tables 4 and 5 supply similar data relating to water and acid attack. These data show the value of higher chromium content for improved corrosion resistance.

The ACI designations, such as CF-8M, have been adopted by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and are preferred for cast alloys over the designations used by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) for similar wrought steels. The first letter of the ACI designation indicates whether the alloy is intended primarily for liquid corrosion service (C) or heat-resistant service (H). The second letter denotes the nominal chromium-nickel type, as shown in Fig. 6. As the nickel content increases, the second letter in the ACI designation increases from A to Z. The numerals following the two letters refer to the maximum carbon content (percent × 100) of the alloy. If additional alloying elements are included, they can be denoted by the addition of one or more letters after the maximum carbon content. Thus, the designation CF-8M refers to an alloy for corrosion-resistant service (C) of the 19Cr-9Ni (F) type, with a maximum carbon content of 0.08% and containing molybdenum (M). Fig. 6 Chromium and nickel contents in ACl standard grades of heat- and corrosion-resistant castings. See text for details. Source: Ref 2 Corrosion-resistant cast steels are also often classified on the basis of microstructure. The classifications are not completely independent, and a classification by composition often involves microstructural distinctions.

Composition and Microstructure The principal alloying element in the high-alloy family is usually chromium, which, through the formation of protective oxide films, is the first step for these alloys in achieving stainless quality. For all practical purposes, stainless behavior requires at least 12% Cr. As will be discussed later, corrosion resistance further improves with additions of chromium to at least the 30% level. As shown in Table 5, nickel and lesser amounts of molybdenum and other elements are often added to the iron-chromium matrix. [...]...
