The problems associated with the corrosion of stainless steels in the bleach plant of pulp and paper mills have been a part of the bleaching process since its inception. In recent years, however, the corrosion has increased in severity because of changes in bleaching and pulp washing processes (1). The highly oxidizing acid chloride environments lead to considerable equipment losses due to localized corrosion of stainless steels. For these reasons, we have been engaged in a programme of alloy evaluation in these systems, together with an attempt to understand the processes involved in the initiation and propagation of localized corrosion.
