This work presents a study on the correlation between the crystallographic texture and the pitting corrosion susceptibility of API 5L steels. The crystallographic textures of API 5L steel samples (codified as S1, S2, S3, and S4) were studied using EBSD measurements. A deterministic model based on symmetric spherical surface harmonics was proposed to describe the strong dependence of the pitting corrosion susceptibility on the crystallographic (grains) orientation of the (body-centered cubic) material. Using the model, pitting corrosion susceptibility index values estimated from EBSD raw data agreed in relative magnitudes (from sample to sample) with the predictions made from X-ray mac... |
