INVESTGATING THE EFFECT OF SENSITIZATION ON THE WEIGHT LOSS OF AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL (TYPE 304) IN FRESH WATER
Abstract
The rate of weight loss of austenitic stainless steel immersed in fresh water after sensitization is the target focus of research. This trend of study is subjected to the investigation of the rate of weight loss of austenitic stainless steel (type 304), immersed in fresh water. Thus, the presentation of this research paper is one of such using MATLAB software for data analysis. The predicting variable (soaking time) significantly predicts the dependent variable with a P-Value of 1.0e^(-03) which depicts that as the soaking time of the test samples in fresh water after the sensitization period increases, there is also a corresponding increase in the rate of weight loss of austenitic stainless steel (type 304) progressively. This result clearly directs a positive effect of the predicting variable (soaking time). Moreover, R^2 = 0.9507 depicts that the model explains 95.07%, which is approximately 95.1% of the variance.
