Abstract
Type 304 stainless steel was oxidised at various temperatures in air. The pitting susceptibility of the oxidised and unoxidised specimens was evaluated in ferrie chloride solution. The increased pitting susceptibility of the oxidised specimens at about 500°C is attributed to the change of chemical composition of the oxide film on the surface.
