Using temperature as a pitting criterion, the effects of Mo and other supplementary alloying additions on the pit initiation resistance of wholly austenitic stainless steel containing nominally 18% Cr have been evaluated. Quantitative results for Mo, Cu, Ni, Mn, N, and Si alloy additions are presented and empirical relationships are given which describe the pitting resistance of several families of alloys. Both experimental and commercial alloys have been evaluated.
