Electrochemical response of Type 304 stainless steel, with different levels of plastic deformation, was investigated in solutions containing different amounts of H₂SO₄ and KSCN at room temperature. Potentiodynamic polarization and double-loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) techniques were used to characterize different levels of plastic deformation. The results have indicated that DL-EPR values and passivation current density increased with increase in plastic deformation. The DL-EPR values were correlated well with hardness and fraction of strain-induced martensite. Attack during DL-EPR tests occurred on strain regions within the matrix such as dislocations in austenite and martensite and/or interface between austenite and martensite. No well-defined correlation was observed between the levels of plastic deformation and potentiodynamic polarization behavior.
