Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) along with electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (EPR) testing was performed on different grades of 304 stainless steel (0.01, 0.025, 0.05, and 0.07%C) in order to assess the sensitization and precipitation behaviour on different grain boundary misorient...
