In this case, the method will be applied to the 304 ABNT stainless steel, thermally treated and exposed to different times in salt spray. Different 304 steel conditions, rolled and thermally treated have exhibited similar geometry, predominantly conic, near-conic and irregular pits. On rolled steel, pits width increases faster than height; however, on thermally treated steel, pits are found to increase in height.412-420porImage analysisPitting corrosionStainless steelCorrosion resistant materialsPitsSalt sprayHeat treatmentMorphologyPittingCorrosion resistant alloysTrabalho apresentado em eventoAcesso aberto2-s2.0-1842578445
