Abstract: The SCC susceptibility of 1Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel in 0.5 mol/L HCl+0.5 mol/L NaCl solution and the inhibiting effects of propargyl alcohol(PA)on SCC and general corrosion were investigated by slow strain rate tests(SSRT), polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The results indicated that the inhibitive action of PA can be attributed to its adsorption and inhibiting effects on the anodic reaction of metal dissolution due to the effect of blocking the active sites on metal surface.

Key words: propargyl alcohol, austenitic stainless steel, stress corrosion, inhibitive action
