Datasets on the corrosion behaviour of nanostructured AISI 316 stainless steel treated by SMAT.

ABSTRACT: The present paper contains the experimental datasets on the corrosion behaviour of nanostructured AISI 316 stainless steel (SS) through polarization tests in 0.6 M NaCl aqueous solution at room temperature. The nanostructured layers were first obtained through surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) method and the data information on the corrosion behaviour of the nanostructured layer was thereafter collected. Through potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies, the experimental datasets were obtained to investigate the combined effects of SMAT and low temperature annealing on the corrosion behaviour of 316 SS. The experimental datasets obtained include the open circuit potential (OCP), corrosion current densities, corrosion potential, Nyquist, impedance and phase angle. The datasets provided in this article will be of great help to most aerospace, automobile, and manufacturing industries in determining the actual and practical corrosion behaviour of AISI 316 SS in corrosive and aggressive environment.
