Under Label Crevice/Pitting Corrosion on 304 Stainless Steel Underwater Swimming Pool Light: A Case Study

Abstract

Corrosion is a constant challenge in the swimming pool parts industry.  One form of corrosion is crevice corrosion in which a restrictive geometry creates a corrosive event on materials that would otherwise be immune to corrosive attack. This presentation will start with a basic overview of corrosion then go into details of the crevice corrosion mechanism.
