Abstract
In a study of electrochemical drilling, the influence of the electrolyte composition on intergranular corrosion of various nickel alloys and of hardenable stainless steel was investigated. The nickel-base alloys did not undergo intergranular corrosion in a solution of 15% NaNO3 + 20% NaClO3 + 65% H2O, but they did so in solutions of NaNO3 alone and in solutions containing NaCl. Stainless steel did not corrode in any of the electrolyte solutions used.
