The breakdown potential at which passivity broke down for 316L alloy was 0.00 mV （SCE）. The corresponding value for 6% Mo alloy could not reach up to the potential value of 700 mV （SCE）. 316L alloy suffered extremely from crevice corrosion at room temperature （about 25℃）, which indicates that the critical crevice corrosion temperature, below which crevice corrosion does not occur, was lower than the test temperature. For 6% Mo alloy, the critical crevice corrosion temperature was higher than the testing temperature. Electrochemical parameters indicated that 6% Mo alloy exhibited higher crevice corrosion resistance than 316L alloy.展开更多
