The results of microstructure examinations and hardness measurements carried out on two selected grades of high-manganese cast steel with an austenitic matrix, i.e. GX120Mn13 and GX120MnCr18-2, are presented. The examinations of the cast steel microstructure have revealed that the matrix of the GX120MnCr18-2 cast steel contains the precipitates of complex carbides enriched in Cr and Mn with two different morphologies. The presence of these precipitates leads to an increase in hardness by approx. 30 HB compared to the GX120Mn13 cast steel. Samples cut out from the tested materials were loaded (10 strokes) with an energy of 53 J, and then a ball-on-disc tribological test was performed. The test was carried out in reciprocating motion under technically dry friction conditions. While analyzing the obtained results of the microstructure, hardness, and abrasion tests, it was found that the presence of the hard carbide precipitates in the plastic matrix of the tested GX120MnCr18-2 cast steel promoted an increase in hardness, but also led to chipping of these particles from the alloy matrix, thus contributing to micro-cutting during friction.

The effect of CaSiAl modification (43-49% Ca, 43-48% Si, 2% Al) on the non-metallic inclusions and mechanical properties of cast low-carbon steel is discussed. Tests were carried out on the cast steel with 0.2% C and micro-additives of V and Nb, used mainly for heavy steel castings (e.g. slag ladles). The modifier in an amount of 1.5 and 3 kg / Mg was introduced to the liquid steel before tapping the metal into a ladle. Test ingots of Y type and a weight of 10 kg were cast and then subjected to a normalizing heat treatment. Using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the non-metallic inclusions present in as-cast samples was carried out. Additionally, tests of mechanical strength and impact strength were performed on cast steel with and without the different content of modifier. It was found that increasing the modifier addition affected impact strength but had no significant effect on tensile strength and yield strength. The material with high impact strength had the smallest area fraction of non-metallic inclusions in the microstructure (0.20%). The introduction of modifiers changed the morphology of non-metallic inclusions from dendritic to regular and nodular shapes.

The results of studies of the microstructure and properties of cast high alloy steels containing 17% Cr and 0.8% C subjected to different variants of heat treatment are presented. For phase identification, the light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy as well as the X-ray diffraction analysis were used. The conducted studies revealed the presence of carbides in the microstructure, mainly of the M23C6 carbide, detected after both quenching and tempering at 200 and 600°C. The use of low and high tempering significantly reduced the test alloy hardness from 657.3 HV30 to 403.7 HV30. At the same time, hardness was observed to have an impact on the values of abrasion in the conducted Miller slurry test. Higher material hardness leads to lower wear expressed by mass loss.

This article discusses the influence of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) surfacing of duplex cast steel on its hardness and structure. The samples of 24Cr-5Ni-2.5Mo ferritic-austenitic cast steel were subjected to single-overlay processes with the use of solid wire having the chemical composition similar to that of the duplex cast steel. As a result of the surfacing, the welds were obtained that had no welding imperfections with a smooth transition to the base material. In the test without the heat treatment, directly below the fusion line, we observe a ferrite band with a width of approximately 200 μm without visible austenite areas. Some of the samples were then solution treated (1060°C). Both variants, without and after solution heat treatment, were subjected to testing. Significant changes in the microstructure of the joint were observed after the heat treatment process (heat affected zone and weld microstructure changes). In both areas, an increase in the austenite volume fraction after solution heat treatment was observed. Changes in the microhardness of the ferrite in the HAZ area directly below the fusion line were also observed.

Characteristics of the microstructure of corrosion-resistant cast 24Cr-5Ni-2.5Mo duplex steel after introduction of 0.98, 1.67 and 4.3% Si were described. Based on the test results it has been found that silicon addition introduced to the corrosion-resistant cast two-phase duplex steel significantly reduces austenite content in the alloy matrix. Increasing silicon content in the test alloy to 4.3% has resulted, in addition to the elimination of austenite, also in the precipitation of Si-containing intermetallic phases at the grain boundaries and inside the grains. The precipitates were characterized by varying content of Cr and Mo, indicating the presence in the structure of more than one type of the brittle phase characteristic for this group of materials. The simulation using Thermo-Calc software has confirmed the presence of ferrite in all tested alloys. In the material containing 4.3% Si, the Cr and Si enriched precipitates, such as G phase and Cr3Si were additionally observed to occur.

Cast stainless steel of the Cr-Ni duplex type is used, among others, for the cast parts of pumps and valves handling various chemically aggressive media. Therefore, the main problem discussed in this article is the problem of abrasion wear resistance in a mixture of SiC and water and resistance to electrochemical corrosion in a 3% NaCl- H2O solution of selected cast steel grades, i.e. typical duplex cast steel, high silicon and manganese duplex cast steel, and Cr-Ni austenitic cast steel (type AISI 316L). The study shows that the best abrasion wear resistance comparable to Ni-Hart cast iron was obtained in the cast duplex steel, where Ni was partially replaced with Mn and N. This cast steel was also characterized by the highest hardness and matrix microhardness among all the tested cast steel grades. The best resistance to electrochemical corrosion in 3% NaCl- H2O solution showed the cast duplex steel with high content of Cr, Mo and N. The addition of Ni plays rather insignificant role in the improvement of corrosion resistance of the materials tested.

This paper discusses changes in the microstructure and abrasive wear resistance of G17CrMo5-5 cast steel modified with rare earth metals (REM). The changes were assessed using scanning microscopy. The wear response was determined in the Miller test to ASTM G75. Abrasion tests were supplemented with the surface profile measurements of non-modified and modified cast steel using a Talysurf CCI optical profilometer. It was demonstrated that the modification substantially affected the microstructure of the alloy, leading to grain size reduction and changed morphology of non-metallic inclusions. The observed changes in the microstructure resulted in a three times higher impact strength (from 33 to 99 kJ/cm2) and more than two times higher resistance to cracking (from 116 to 250 MPa). The following surface parameters were computed: Sa: Arithmetic mean deviation of the surface, Sq: Root-mean-square deviation of the surface, Sp: Maximum height of the peak, Sv: Maximum depth of the valley, Sz: Ten Point Average, Ssk: Asymmetry of the surface, Sku: Kurtosis of the surface. The findings also indicated that the addition of rare earth metals had a positive effect on the abrasion behaviour of G17CrMo5-5 cast steel.

A possibility to control the strength, hardness and ductility of the L35HM low-alloy structural cast steel by the applied tempering temperature is discussed in the paper. Tests were carried out on samples taken from the two randomly selected industrial melts. Heat treatment of the cast samples included quenching at 900°C, cooling in an aqueous solution of polymer, and tempering at 600 and 650°C. The obtained results showed that the difference in the tempering temperature equal to 50°C can cause the difference of 121 MPa in the values of UTS and of 153 MPa in the values of 0.2%YS. For both melts tempered at 600 °C, the average values of UTS and 0.2%YS were equal to 995 MPa and 933 MPa, respectively. The values of EL and RA did not show any significant differences. Attention was drawn to large differences in strength and hardness observed between the melts tempered at 600 and 650°C. Despite differences in the mechanical properties of the examined cast steel, the obtained results were superior to those specified by the standard.

The exposed selvedge layers in slabs cast by the continuous process should be free from surface defects, which in most cases appear in the form of cracks on the casting surface and run to its interior. In addition to the parameters of the casting process, the occurrence of such defects depends on the chemical composition of cast steel, on the segregation of surface active elements and formation of the precipitates of carbides, nitrides and other phases. Due to the frequent occurrence of defects in corners of the slabs, non-destructive testing was performed on the mechanically cleaned surfaces of slabs. The test material was low-carbon API(American Petroleum Institute API 5L standard) steel micro alloyed with Nb and Ti designed for the production of pipes to handle gas, oil and other liquid and gaseous fuels. Despite the use of different methods of inspection, i.e. ultrasonic, magnetic particle and penetrant, cracks were not traced in the examined material. Then, from the corners of the examined slabs, specimens were cut out for metallographic examinations. The main purpose of these examinations was to disclose the presence of possible cracks and micro cracks on the surfaces transversal and longitudinal to the direction of casting. At the same time, studies were conducted to establish the number and morphology of non-metallic inclusions in selvedge layers of the slab corners and axis. Additionally, hardness of the slabs was measured. The conducted studies revealed only some minor differences in the slab hardness along its axis (130 ÷ 135 HB) and in selvedge layers (120 ÷ 123 HB).

The article presents the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast duplex stainless steel type 23Cr-5Mn-2Ni-3Mo. It has been shown that the structure of the tested cast steel is composed of ferrite enriched in Cr, Mo and Si, and austenite enriched in Mn and Ni. In the initial state, at the interface, precipitates rich in Cr and Mo were present. A high carbon content (0.08%C) in this cast steel indicates that probably those were complex carbides of the M23C6 type and/or σ phase. Studies have proved that the solution annealing conducted at 1060°C was not sufficient for their full dissolution, while at the solutioning temperature of 1150°C, the structure of the tested material was composed of ferrite and austenite. Partial replacement of Ni by two other austenite-forming elements, which are Mn and N, has ensured obtaining mechanical properties comparable to cast duplex 24Cr-5Ni-3Mo steel of the second generation. Basing on the results of static tensile test, a twice higher yield strength was proved to be obtained, compared to the cast austenitic 18Cr-9Ni and 19Cr-11Ni-2Mo steel commonly used in the foundry industry. In addition to the high yield strength (YS = 547 ÷ 572 MPa), the tested cast steel was characterized by the following mechanical properties: UTS = 731 ÷ 750 MPa, EL = 21 ÷ 29.5%, R.A. = 43 ÷ 52%, hardness 256 ÷ 266 HB. Fractures formed in mechanical tests showed ductile-brittle character.

W artykule przedstawiono mikrostrukturę i właściwości mechaniczne, kwasoodpornego staliwa ferrytyczno - austenitycznego 23Cr-5Mn-2Ni-3Mo typu duplex. Wykazano, że struktura badanego staliwa składa się z ferrytu δ wzbogaconego w C r, Mo i S i oraz austenitu wzbogaconego w Mn i Ni. W stanie wyjściowym na granicy międzyfazowej występują wydzielenia wzbogacone w C r i Mo. Wysoka zawartość C (0.08%) w tym staliwie wskazuje, że prawdopodobnie są to złożone węgliki M23C6 i/lub faza σ. Wykazano, że temperatura przesycania 1060°C nie jest wystarczająca do ich całkowitego rozpuszczenia. Natomiast w temperaturze przesycania 1150°C struktura badanego materiału składa się z ferrytu i austenitu. Częściowe zastąpienie Ni przez dwa inne pierwiastki austenitotwórcze jakimi są Mn i N zapewniło uzyskanie porównywalnych właściwości mechanicznych do staliwa duplex 24Cr-5Ni-3Mo drugiej generacji. Na podstawie przeprowadzonej statycznej próby rozciągania wykazano dwukrotnie wyższą granicę plastyczności w porównaniu do często stosowanego w przemyśle odlewniczym austenitycznego staliwa 18Cr-9Ni i 19Cr-11Ni-2Mo. Poza wysoką granicą plastyczności (Rp0,2 = 547 ÷ 572 MPa), badane staliwo charakteryzowało się następującymi właściwościami mechanicznymi: Rm = 731 ÷ 750 MPa, As = 21 ÷ 29,5%, Z = 43 ÷ 52%, HB = 256 ÷ 266. Przełomy po badaniach wytrzymałościowych wykazywały charakter ciagliwo-kruchy.

W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki obróbki pozapiecowej stali niskostopowej L70H2GNM przeznaczonej na masywne odlewy, pracujące w warunkach ścierania. Obróbka polegała na przedmuchiwaniu argonem stali w kadzi odlewniczej o pojemności 8,5 Mg, przy udziale trzech różnych żużli syntetycznych. Do badań wybrano żużle dostępne na rynku materiałów odlewniczych takie jak: LDSF LT firmy Kerneos, UZRA KP firmy ZM Ropczyce, który dodatkowo zmodyfikowano przez wprowadzenie aluminium. Czas przedmuchiwania kąpieli argonem wynosił 4 minuty dla każdego wytopu. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań uzyskano zmiany zawartości siarki w wytapianym staliwie w zależności od zastosowanych żużli syntetycznych. Stwierdzono, że zawartość siarki w staliwie zmniejszyła się po rafinacji w kadzi. Dodatkowo wykazano, że na zawartość siarki w badanym staliwie ma wpływ skład chemiczny zastosowanych żużli syntetycznych.

In this article, the results of secondary metallurgy of L70H2GNM cast steel has been shown. This grade of low alloy cast steel is popular in Poland for heavy castings which works in wear conditions e.g. in coal mills. The ladle refining process was composed of argon stirring in 8.5 Mg bottom pour ladle and treatment with synthetic slags. The three commercial slag mixtures available on casting materials market such as: LDSF of the Kerneos company, UZRA KP and UZRA KP+Al of the ZM Ropczyce company were chosen for examinations. The time of argon blowing through porous plug was 4 minutes for every melt. Experimental results have shown, that sulphur content in steel decreases after refining in ladle. Moreover, desulphurisation ratio during argon stirring have also been influenced by composition of slag mixtures.

Przedmiotem badań było porównanie odporności na korozję elektrochemiczną dwóch gatunków kwasoodpornego staliwa ferrytyczno-austenitycznego (duplex): klasycznego zawierającego 24Cr-5Ni-2,5Mo-2,6Cu z nowym gatunkiem staliwa zawierającym 24Cr-5Mn-2Ni-3Mo, w którym Ni częściowo został zastąpiony przez Mn i N. Zawartość pierwiastków austenitotwórczych (Ni, Mn i N) została tak dobrana, aby udział ferrytu δ w staliwie wynosił 45÷50%. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań korozyjnych stwierdzono, że oba materiały ulegają samorzutnej pasywacji w 3% roztworze NaCl. Staliwo z podwyższoną zawartością Mn i N posiada znacznie wyższą wartość potencjału bezprądowego (Eo = -0,7 V), niż klasyczne staliwo duplex (Eo = -0,95V) oraz wykazuje zasadnicze różnice w gęstości prądu anodowego. Jest ono również bardziej odporne na korozję lokalną. Analiza mikrostrukturalna produktów korozji wskazuje na obecność nielicznych wżerów korozyjnych powstających głównie na wtrąceniach niemetalicznych.

The aim of the studies was to compare the electrochemical corrosion resistance of the two grades of acid-resistant cast austenitic-ferritic (duplex) steel, i.e. the conventional grade containing 24Cr-5Ni-2.5Mo-2.6Cu and a cast steel grade containing 24Cr-5Mn-2Ni-3Mo, where Ni was partially replaced by a higher content of Mn and N. The content of austenite-forming elements (Ni, Mn and N) has been chosen in such a way as to keep the δ ferrite fraction in the cast steel at a level of 45 ÷ 50%. Based on the corrosion test results, it was found that both materials undergo a spontaneous passivation in the 3% NaCl solution. The cast steel with increased content of Mn and N has a much higher value of the electro less potential (Eo = -0.7 V) than the conventional cast duplex steel (Eo = -0,95V), and shows substantial differences in the anodic current density. It is also more resistant to local corrosion. Microstructural analysis of corrosion products indicates the presence of very few corrosion pits formed mainly on the non-metallic inclusions.

The study describes the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure of cast high-alloyed 20%Cr-21%Ni-5%Si steel. It has been found that the microstructure of the tested material in the initial state consists of an austenitic matrix and precipitates rich in Si, Cr, Ni and Mn, characterized by different morphology and distributed mainly along the grain boundaries. The conducted heat treatment (after solutioning at: 1060, 1100 and 1200ºC) has changed both morphology and chemical composition of the precipitates. Significant reduction in the Si and Ni content and slight increase in the Cr content, especially after solutioning at 1200°C, combined with a simultaneous decrease in the hardness of the precipitates was evidenced.

The results of the modification of austenitic matrix in cast high-manganese steel containing 11÷19% Mn with additions of Cr, Ni and Ti were discussed. The introduction of carbide-forming alloying elements to this cast steel leads to the formation in matrix of stable complex carbide phases, which effectively increase the abrasive wear resistance in a mixture of SiC and water. The starting material used in tests was a cast Hadfield steel containing 11% Mn and 1.34% C. The results presented in the article show significant improvement in abrasive wear resistance and hardness owing to the structure modification with additions of Cr and Ti.

Studies described in this paper relate to common grades of cast corrosion resistant Cr-Ni steel with different matrix. The test materials were subjected to heat treatment, which consisted in the solution annealing at 1060°C followed by cooling in water. The conducted investigations, besides the microstructural characteristics of selected cast steel grades, included the evaluation of hardness, toughness (at a temperature of -40 and +20°C) and type of fracture obtained after breaking the specimens on a Charpy impact testing machine. Based on the results of the measured volume fraction of ferrite, it has been found that the content of this phase in cast austenitic steel is 1.9%, while in the two-phase ferritic-austenitic grades it ranges from 50 to 58%. It has been demonstrated that within the scope of conducted studies, the cast steel of an austenitic structure is characterised by higher impact strength than the two-phase ferritic-austenitic (F-A) grade. The changing appearance of the fractures of the specimens reflected the impact strength values obtained in the tested materials. Fractures of the cast austenitic Cr-Ni steel obtained in these studies were of a ductile character, while fractures of the cast ferritic-austenitic grade were mostly of a mixed character with the predominance of brittle phase and well visible cleavage planes.

This paper presents the results of experimental studies, the main aim of which has been to demonstrate that changes in the microstructure of austenitic 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel provoked by the addition of 1.4% boron, and boron with titanium, give increased wear resistance. After melting the high-alloyed 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel with an addition of boron, and boron with titanium, metallographic examinations were conducted using light microscopy and SEM. These examinations revealed in the austenitic structure of the 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel, the presence of a eutectic rich in boron and chromium, and characterised by a microhardness of 1838-1890 μ HV20 . Additionally, in the cast steel inoculated with boron and titanium, the presence of titanium nitride precipitates was observed. Changes that have occurred in the microstructure as a result of introducing the additions of boron, and boron with titanium, also caused an increase of the cast steel hardness from 212 HV30 to 290-320 HV30 and 320-350 HV30, respectively. To determine the abrasive wear resistance, 16-hour Miller test was performed (ASTM G 75-07), wherein the abrasive medium was a mixture of SiC and water. Obtaining the hard, rich in boron and chromium, eutectic and titanium nitride precipitates in the structure of 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel increased the abrasive wear resistance by approximately 21%, according to the data recorded in the sixteenth hour of the test cycle. As an additional benchmark point for the results obtained served the wear resistant, structural, L35GSM steel used for castings working in difficult conditions. Comparing the values of abrasive wear resistance obtained for the 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel and cast L35GSM steel, an increase in the wear resistance of the 18%Cr-9%Ni cast steel by about 35% has been proved.

Po wytopieniu wysokostopowego staliwa 18%Cr-9%Ni z borem oraz z dodatkiem boru i tytanu przeprowadzono badania metalograficzne z wykorzystaniem mikroskopu świetlnego i skaningowego. Badania te wykazały obecność w austenitycznej strukturze staliwa 18%Cr-9%Ni eutektyki bogatej w bor i chrom, o mikrotwardosci 1838-1890 μHV20: W staliwie modyfikowanym borem i tytanem dodatkowo stwierdzono obecność wydzieleń azotków tytanu. Zmiany jakie zaszły w mikrostrukturze po wprowadzeniu dodatków boru oraz boru i tytanu spowodowały również wzrost twardości staliwa z 212 HV30 odpowiednio do 290-320 HV30 oraz do 320-350 HV30 . Do określenia odporności na zużycie ścierne wykonano 16-godzinny test Millera (ASTM G 75-07), w którym medium ścierającym była mieszanina SiC i wody. Uzyskanie twardej eutektyki bogatej w bor i chrom oraz wydzieleń azotków tytanu w strukturze staliwa 18%Cr-9%Ni doprowadziło do zwiększenia odporności na ścieranie o około 21% w 16 godzinie cyklu badań. Dodatkowym punktem odniesienia uzyskanych wyników było odporne za zużycie, konstrukcyjne staliwo L35GSM stosowane na odlewy pracujące w trudnych warunkach. Porównując otrzymane wyniki odporności na zużycie ścierne staliwa 18Cr-9%Ni oraz staliwa L35GSM wykazano, wzrost odporności na zużycie staliwa 18%Cr-9%Ni o około 35%.

The changes of a sulphur content during refining in melting low-alloy and high-alloy steels (G17CrMoV5-10; GX12CrMoNiVNbN9-1) applied for large-dimension castings for the power engineering are presented in the hereby paper. The investigated steel was melted in the oxygen-recovery melting technology with an application of maximum 70% of the process scrap. In addition, after steel melting in the electric arc furnace (EAF), the secondary metallurgy was performed in the ladle furnace (LF). It was shown that the application of the secondary metallurgy by a synthetic slag in the ladle furnace and argon bubbling of a metal bath leads to obtaining in the final analysis: 0.0043-0.0046% of sulphur (a decrease of S content during refining in LF reached 40%). Current measurements of FeO in the slag and maintaining its content below 0.8%, support obtaining such low sulphur content in steel. So low level of the slag oxidizing is one of the necessary conditions for a deep desulphurisation of the metal bath. Without the secondary metallurgy the sulphur content in low-alloy cast steel was 0.007%, while 0.01% in high-alloy cast steel. Controlling of the gas (oxygen, nitrogen) content during steel melting and correcting the amount of additions (e.g. deoxidants), allowed to obtain the low oxygen content (below 45 ppm for two investigated steel grades) and nitrogen content (88 ppm for low-alloy steel and 330 ppm for high-alloy steel), which warrants a good combination of strength and plastic properties.

W pracy przedstawiono zmiany zawartosci siarki podczas rafinacji w czasie wytapiania stali nisko- i wysokostopowej (G17CrMoV5-10; GX12CrMoNiVNbN9-1) stosowanej na wielkogabarytowe odlewy dla energetyki. Badana stal wytopiono w technologii odzyskowo-tlenowej z zastosowaniem maksymalnie 70% złomu własnego. Dodatkowo, po wytopieniu stali w piecu łukowym (EAF) przeprowadzono obróbke pozapiecowa w pieco-kadzi (LF). Wykazano, ze zastosowanie obróbki pozapiecowej zuzlem syntetycznym w pieco-kadzi i argonowania kapieli metalowej prowadzi do uzyskania w analizie koncowej 0,0043-0,0046%S (zmniejszenie zawartosci S podczas rafinacji w LF siegało 40%). Uzyskaniu tak niskiej zawartosci siarki w stali sprzyja m.in. biezacy pomiar FeO w zuzlu i utrzymanie jego zawartosci ponizej 0,8%. Tak niski poziom stopnia utlenienia zuzla jest jednym z warunków koniecznym do dobrego odsiarczenia kapieli metalowej. Bez obróbki pozapiecowej zawartosc siarki w staliwie niskostopowym wynosiła 0,007%, natomiast dla staliwa wysokostopowego 0,01%. Kontrola zawartosci gazów (tlenu i azotu) w czasie wytapiania stali i dokonywana korekta ilosci wprowadzanych dodatków (np. odtleniaczy) doprowadziła do uzyskania niskiej zawartosci tlenu (ponizej 45 ppm dla dwóch badanych gatunków stali) i azotu (88 ppm dla stali niskostopowej, 330 ppm dla stali wysokostopowej) gwarantujaca dobra kombinacje własciwosci wytrzymałosciowych i plastycznych odlewów.

The study attempts to determine the impact of the high-manganese cast steel strain hardening on its abrasion wear resistance in a mixture of SiC and water prepared in accordance with ASTM G75. For tests, the high-manganese cast steel containing 10.7, 17.9 and 20.02% Mn was selected. The results of microstructure examinations and abrasion wear resistance tests carried out on the material in non-hardened condition and after strain hardening with a force of 539.55kN were disclosed. Additionally, the surface of samples after a 16-hour cycle of abrasion tests was examined. Moreover, based on the obtained results, the effect of different contents of Mn in cast steel was studied, mainly in terms of its impact on the abrasion wear resistance. The results obtained on the tested materials were compared with the results obtained on the low-alloyed abrasion wear-resistant cast steel L35GSM.

Przeprowadzono badania właściwości elektrochemicznych stopów Fe-5%Cr w 0,1 M Na2SO4 oraz w wodzie termalnej pochodzącej z odwiertu Bańska IG-1 (Geotermia Podhalańska S.A.). Celem tych badań było poznanie mechanizmu tworzenia warstewki produktów korozji odpowiedzialnych za stosunkowo dobrą odporność korozyjną stali/staliwa P5 w wodach termalnych o średniej mineralizacji i o temperaturze do 100oC. Przedstawiono mechanizm i kinetykę tworzenia anodowej warstewki produktów korozji na powierzchni stopu Fe-5%Cr oraz staliwa P5.
