Additional information

This work arose from a £88,493 grant awarded from Rolls Royce Marine for a project ‘Mitigation of intergranular degradation in austenitic stainless steels’. This paper, in a journal with a five-year IF 2.22 and having 11 citations, reports how intergranular corrosion (sensitization) is reduced by custom-designed grain boundary engineering (GBE). The data provided unequivocal support for GBE: after processing 97% of Σ3 boundaries were sensitization immune and 80% of Σ9 boundaries were immune or partially immune. These improvements were achieved using small strains and short annealing times, which is an attraction for future scale-up of this work for commercial purposes.
