Abstract

A morphological estimation of the pitting corrosion of type 304 stainless steel using the acoustic emission (AE) duration parameter is proposed in the present work. The pit morphology depending on Cl concentration and gravity was investigated. Occluded pits in low-concentration NaCl solution were observed to develop with more long-duration AEs, while elongated pits with ruptured cover in high-concentration NaCl solution were predominantly concurrent with short-duration AEs. The morphological descriptor “η” derived from the AE duration–amplitude plots reflected the morphological transition from occluded to elongated open pits. An AE-based correspondence among the environmental factors and corrosion morphologies was proposed.
