Pitting Corrosion: Effect of Alloying Elements
Under such conditions Sandvik SAF 2707 HD, Sandvik SAF 3207,
Sandvik SAF 2507 and Sandvik 254 SMO* have superior properties.
If chlorine addition of 0.5–2 ppm is made intermittently (for example.
2 x 30 min/24 hours), the risk of pitting attack can be reduced.
Intermittent chlorination is fully sufficient to prevent micro-organism
growth. However, the chlorine addition can cause an increased risk
of pitting corrosion due to the oxidizing capacity. Use of continuous
chlorination increases this risk, which is why intermittent chlorination
is preferred.
