The resistance of type304 stainless steel to crevice corrosion was evaluated by the multiple crevice assembly testing method in chloride-containing solutions. These results were compared with the results of joint research of this method on Group Committee 59-1 of Japan Society of Corrosion Engineering to confirm the reproducibility. Furthermore, the crevice corrosion resistance of some stainless steels were evaluated by this method. We concluded as follows.

  • The results of this study by multiple crevice assembly test showed good correlation with the ones of Japan Society of Corrosion Engineering.

  • It was confirmed that the effect of alloying elements on crevice corrosion resistance of stainless steels could be evaluated by multiple crevice assembly testing method.
