Chemical and mechanical treatment changes chemical composition, component size, surface free energy and topography of surface. These specifications have a great influence on corrosion resistance of the stainless steel which is caused by existence of stable, thin and well adherent passive layer. Surfaces of the welded stainless steel were modified by two mechanical treatment methods (grinding, garnet blasting) and one chemical (pickling). The properties of variously prepared surfaces were studied by SEM. Corrosion behaviour of the specimens with different surface treatment was investigated by exposition tests in the 6% FeCl<sub>3 </sub>solution and also by the electrochemical polarization in the NaCl solution.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Periodica Polytechnica Transportation Engineering}, author={Liptáková, Tatiana and Alaskari, Ayman and Halamová, Monika}, year={2013}, pages={143–147} }
