Abstract EN
This work focuses on the pitting corrosion of ventilation grilles operated in swimming pool environments.
The ventilation grille was made by resistance welding of stainless steel rods.
Based on the macroscopic and microscopic examinations, the mechanism of the pitting corrosion was confirmed.
Chemical composition microanalysis of sediments as well as base metal using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) method was carried out.
The weldments did not meet the operating conditions of the swimming pool environment.
The wear due to the pitting corrosion was identified in heat affected zones of stainless steel weldment and was more severe than the corrosion of base metal.
The low quality finish of the joints and influence of the welding process on the weld metal microstructure lead to accelerated deposition of corrosion effecting elements such as chlorine.
