Impact of Sensitization on the Weight Loss of Austenitic Stainless Steel (Type 304) In Fresh Water

Abstract

The rate of weight loss of austenitic stainless immersed in fresh
water after sensitization is the target focus of research scholars.
This trend of study is subjected to a determination of the weight loss
of austenitic stainless steel (type 304), immersed in fresh water.
Thus, the presentation of this paper is one of such using SPSS for
the data analysis. Analysis from the result attest strong relationship
between weight loss of austenitic stainless steel (type 304) in fresh
water after sensitization period of about 96.6% ≃ 97%. The result
further attest that the nature of correlation is positive which implies
that weight loss of austenitic steel (type 304) in fresh water
increases progressively with sensitization period. The results attest
that the study is significant with a P – Value of 0.00 which is lee
than 0.05 (5%) significant level.
