Electrochemical Behavior of stainless steel AISI 430 exposed to simulated food

ABSTRACT Due to the excellent properties of stainless steel, these materials have a variety of applications among which is the food processing industry. One of the main problems in this industry is the possible releasing of metal ions towards food. For this reason, it is very important to know corrosion behavior of steels that are used in this industry. In this study the release of Fe, Cr and Ni ions and the electrochemical behavior of AISI 430 steel with three different surfaces finishes in contact with a solution that simulates food contact (acetic acid 3% v / v) was evaluated. For this, the...
