The effects of Cl− ion concentration and pH values on the corrosion behavior of Cr12Ni3Co12Mo4W ultrahighstrength martensitic stainless steel UHSMSS were investigated by a series of electrochemical tests combined with observations by stereology microscopy and scanning electron microscopy A critical Cl− ion concentration was found to exist approximately 01wt above which pitting occurred The pitting potential decreased with increasing Cl− ion concentration A UHSMSS specimen tempered at 600°C exhibited a better pitting corrosion resistance than the one tempered at 400°C The corrosion current density and passive current density of the UHSMSS tempered at 600°C decreased with increasing pH values of the corrosion solution The pits developed a shallower dish geometry with increasing polarization potential A lacy cover on the pits of the UHSMSS tempered at 400°C accelerated pitting whereas corrosion products deposited in the pits of the UHSMSS tempered at 600°C hindered pitting
