Summary:The pitting corrosion resistance of the UNS S-32760 super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) in synthetic NaOH-[Na.sub.2]S solution at different working temperatures of 25, 50, and 70[grados]C has been evaluated in the current investigation to assess the alloy behaviour under the caustic environments used in the pulp and paper industry. The temperature effect on pitting (Ep) and repassivation (Erp) potentials was studied with the Cyclic Potentiodynamic Polarisation (CPP) technique according to the ASTM G61. Results demonstrated that pitting corrosion is prone to occur when increasing alloy temperature since both pitting and repassivation potentials lean towards more negative values while the repassivation zone is reduced. Furthermore, the morphology of the found pits was determined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The pitting corrosion mechanism for the studied super duplex stainless steel under the exposed conditions was introduced. The thiosulphate ion is attributed to be responsible for the initiation of the localised corrosion. La resistencia a la corrosion por picado del acero inoxidable super duplex UNS S-32760 en una solucion sintetica de NaOH y [Na.sub.2]S a diferentes temperaturas de trabajo 25[grados], 50[grados] y 70[grados]C fue estudiada en la presente investigacion, con el proposito de evaluar el comportamiento de la aleacion en ambientes causticos utilizados en la industria de la pulpa y el papel. Se utilizo la tecnica electroquimica de Polarizacion Potenciodinamica Ciclica (PPC) acorde a ASTM G61 para estudiar el efecto de la temperatura en los potenciales de picado (Ep) y repasivacion (Erp). Los resultados mostraron, que al incrementar la temperatura la aleacion es mas susceptible a la corrosion por picado, ya que tanto los potenciales de picado como los potenciales de repasivacion tienden a valores mas negativos y la zona de repasivacion se reduce. Por otro lado, se realizo una caracterizacion utilizando Microscopia Electronica de Barrido (SEM) para determinar la morfologia de las picaduras encontradas. El mecanismo de corrosion por picado para el acero inoxidable super duplex en las condiciones expuestas, se atribuye al ion tiosulfato ser el encargado de iniciar la corrosion localizada.
