Pollution control requires the installation of wet scrubbers to remove SO2 from exhaust gases of power plants and smelters. Type 304 stainless steel has been found to have inadequate corrosion resistance in scrubber environments, while T316 generally has a satisfactory corrosion resistance.1-3  Recently a number of ferritic stainless steels having a high degree of resistance to chloride corrosion have become available commercially and it is of interest to evaluate their corrosion resistance in simulated "scrubber condensate" environment.
