Selective attack in an AISI 304 stainless steel weld metal has been developed after three months in service in well water. Welding zones showed a severe corrosive attack that in some cases led to the steel perforation. Optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDX) revealed a selective attack. An in-depth analysis showed indications of microbiological activity which could be responsible of the severe attack. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
