Effect of Shot Peening on the Corrosion Behavior of 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel in Molten Solar Salt
The effect of shot peening on the corrosion behavior of 304 austenitic stainless steel in molten Solar Salt (60 wt% NaNO 3 + 40 wt% KNO 3 ) at 550°C was studied. Shot peening markedly improves the corrosion resistance of 304 austenitic stainless steel. Electrochemical tests show a 35.2% reduction in corrosion...
