ABSTRACT

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the corrosion behavior of ferritic grade AISI 444 and to
compare its performance with the austenitic grade AISI 304 and low carbon steel AISI 1010 in the
corrosive medium of raw sugarcane juice. General corrosion and pitting corrosion behavior of AISI 444,
AISI 304 and AISI 1010 steels in sugarcane juice was investigated using traditional weight loss method
and cyclic polarization scan. Crevice corrosion tests were also conducted, as per ASTM standard G 78.
It is observed that the corrosion performance of AISI 444 as compared to AISI 1010 is far superior and
comparable to that of AISI 304 grade steel.
Keywords: Stainless steel, polarization, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion

B. Wesley 1*, H. S. Goyal 1, S. C. Mishra 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad, India-211004 2 Department of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, India-769008 ABSTRACT The objective of the present study is to evaluate the corrosion behavior of ferritic grade AISI 444 and to compare its performance with the austenitic grade AISI 304 and low carbon steel AISI 1010 in the corrosive medium of raw sugarcane juice. General corrosion and pitting corrosion behavior of AISI 444, AISI 304 and AISI 1010 steels in sugarcane juice was investigated using traditional weight loss method and cyclic polarization scan. Crevice corrosion tests were also conducted, as per ASTM standard G 78. It is observed that the corrosion performance of AISI 444 as compared to AISI 1010 is far superior and comparable to that of AISI 304 grade steel. Keywords: Stainless steel, polarization, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion *Author for Correspondence E-mail: sunilwesley@rediffmail.com 1. INTRODUCTION of/fabricated with stainless steel, mainly for excellent corrosion resistance, better In sugar industry most of the equipment parts hygiene, fewer breakdowns of the plant, etc. used are made from mild steel [1]. Mild steel Most sugar mills across the world have is extensively used mainly because of its low switched over to use the components made of cost, good mechanical properties, and ease of various grades of stainless steel [2]. Among fabrication. Hence it is used as construction the various grades, most commonly used is material of machinery and equipment in the conventional AISI 304 grade, due to its Indian sugar industry. However, it has a poor all-round performance in most environments. corrosion resistance in that environmental But, with the prices of 304 soaring (due to condition. Sugar industry is plagued by high high volatility of nickel prices), ferritic maintenance, replacement and repair of stainless steel has been proposed as a equipment due to corrosion and abrasion. prospective replacement material for the Due to this reason, the industry is gradually sugar industry.

Sugarcane juice is acidic with a pH value of Up to a juice temperature of 70 ° C, no around 5.6 when freshly extracted and is significant change in the corrosion rate was known the observed, but above this temperature the rate geographical region of its cultivation [4]. increased sharply. The corrosion rate linearly This acidic property is due to the presence of increases with decrease in brix and corrosion various acids in the sugarcane juice namely, rate increases with dissolved oxygen content. aconitic, Ramkumar et al.

S.K. Gupta et al. [12] reported the finding of Sugarcane juice contains a high level of a definite relationship between iron content chlorides (approximately 1300 ppm). Pitting in corrosion is caused by the breakdown of the development of sugar. The reaction between passive film which occurs in the presence of iron and polyphenols alone increased the aggressive anionic species. The presence of color values of clear juice by 5–7%, which in oxidizing agents in a chloride-containing turn on crystallization enhanced the sugar environment is usually extremely detrimental color by corresponding value.
