摘要	A newly developed passivation/acid immersion technique was employed to produce pits free from deformation or residual stress on X-52 pipeline steel samples. Pits have been found to be a common source of crack initiation and the experimental procedure would prove useful in research in crack initiation. Pits generated using this technique were approximately hemispherical. It was seen that individual pits increased in radius at a linear rate of 0.33 mm h(-1) and depth at a linear rate of 0.39 mm h(-1). In the early stage of the process, single pit nucleation was the dominant process, and the area covered by pits increased to 1.7% in the first 40 h, and 75% of the pits were individual pits. In contrast, pit coalescence became significant in the later stages, and by 120 h the area coverage was up to 13.5% and only 50% of the pits were individual pits. The linked pits contained an increasing number of individual pits as time progressed containing up to five pits after 120 h and the linked pits tended to become more circular with time. The growth behaviour of linked pits was significantly different from individual pits. This study establishes some of the details of how pits nucleate, grow and link together. The published literature showed that the growth exponent of pits varied with the severity of the corrosion environment and the growth law determined here was at the high end of the published growth exponents.
