Studies of the corrosion evaluation of SS-304 stainless steel exposed in lithium bromide aqueous solution have been carried out applying the electrochemical noise technique and polarization curves, as well as the weight loss method. The test temperatures were ambient to 80 degrees C, and the exposure time was during 15 days. The main objective was to determine the corrosion rates and the type of corrosion that SS-304 suffers under the mentioned conditions, with the purpose of evaluating its application to heat pumps/transformers. Polarization curves revealed the formation of a passive film, which under increased temperature changed its protective properties. The electrochemical noise results suggested that at the test temperatures the type of corrosion was mixed or pitting corrosion. The noise resistance was calculated through statistical analysis, and then, the Stern-Geary equation and Faraday law were applied to determine mass loss, which was compared to that obtained from weight loss method. Two localized corrosion indicators were also obtained: pitting index (PI) and the coefficient of variation of current (CV), which were compared each other and interrelated with the noise signals and visual observations. To support the type of corrosion process, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDX) was used to study the surface morphology of the corroded specimens and for determining qualitative analyses.
