Purpose: The paper analyzes the effects of plastic deformation in cold working process on the corrosion resistance, micro-hardness and mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steel X5CrNi18-10. Design/methodology/approach: Corrosion resistance of X5CrNi18-10 steel was examined using weight and potentiodynamic methods. In the weight method, the specimens were immersed in the prepared solution for 87 days. The evaluation of the corrosion behaviour of investigated steel in the potentiodynamic method was realized by registering of anodic polarization curves. The VoltaLabŽ PGP 201 system for electrochemical tests was applied. The tests were carried out at room temperature in electrolyte simulating artificial sea water (3.5% NaCl). Registering of anodic polarization curves was conducted at the potential rate equal to 1 mV/s. As the reference electrode the saturated calomel electrode (SCE) was applied, the auxiliary electrode was platinum electrode. Mechanical properties were evaluated on the basis of the static tensile and Vickers micro-hardness test. The observations of the surface morphology after corrosive tests were carried out using Scanning Electron Microscope SUPRA™25. Findings: According to the results of potentiodynamic analyses it was found that plastic deformation in a cold working of austenitic steel grade X5CrNi18-10 affected to lower its corrosion resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution, what has an essential meaning in industrial applications of this group of materials. Research limitations/implications: The microscope observations of the surface samples subjected to corrosion resistance test in 3.5% NaCl solution permitted to evaluate types and the rate of corrosion damages. Practical implications: The obtained results can be used for searching the appropriate way of improving the corrosion resistance of a special group of steels. Originality/value: The corrosion behaviour in chloride solution of a Cr-Ni austenitic stainless steel was investigated.
