Recently, controversy has arisen on the presence of a Cr-depleted zone around MnS inclusions in stainless steels and the relevance of such zones to pit initiation events. In the present work, we use a scanning Auger microscope (SAM) combined with simple pitting immersion tests to elucidate this question in more detail. The SAM analysis of 27 inclusions of a high S-containing DIN 1.4305 stainless steel indicated no Cr-depletion at the inclusion/ matrix-interface with a lateral resolution of +/- 20 nm. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) characterization of the sample surface after an exposure to 10% FeCl3 solution shows that pitting attack in all cases initiates at inclusion sites. Different pit initiation morphologies were observed (inside the inclusion, around the inclusion, mixed attack morphology). However, even the attack morphology around an inclusion cannot be ascribed to Cr depletion at the inclusion. Although in special cases (special composition or heat treatment history of the steel) a Cr-depleted may be induced at the matrix/inclusion-interface, the present work shows that this approach does not generally hold and therefore the presence of such a depletion zone cannot be the general explanation for pitting of stainless steels in the vicinity of inclusions.
