The corrosion properties of weld overlays of Ni-based alloys made on 6Mo stainless steels have been investigated using different test methods. Of the different weld overlays tested, only the Alloy 59 types seem to be beneficial with respect to crevice corrosion initiation when compared with 6Mo base material. Both alloy C-22 and Alloy C-276 weld overlays have slightly lower critical crevice temperatures (CCT) while Alloy 625 and C-4 weld overlays have considerably lower CCTs than the 6Mo base material. Applying a test method or using a gasket material giving less critical crevice geometry than PTFE does, increases the critical crevice corrosion temperature considerably. Care must be taken when evaluating results from testing and when specifying test temperature and test method for quality control. A crevice corrosion test method simulating the condition when starting up a chlorinated sea water system has been developed.
