Abstract

The effect of steam-plasma charge treatment on the corrosive resistance of stainless steel pipe is studied. The peculiarities of electrochemical behavior of stainless steel samples in aggressive environment of sodium chloride, as well as the topography and structural-phase composition of surface layer after conventional and steam-plasma charge treatment are considered.
