Abstract
The study of both nucleations and metastable pitting events in stainless steels was carried out in acidified chloride solution. The results presented below show that the presence of molybdenum as an alloying element in stainless steels reduces the incidence of both nucleations and metastable pits. In addition to this, the extent of growth these events achieve is reduced and the attainment of stable pit growth made more difficult by the presence of molybdenum.
