Pitting corrosion or pitting is a form of extremely localised corrosion that leads to the creation of small holes in all metals. In this study, the effect of temperature and time on the pitting corrosion behaviour of 304 stainless steel was investigated. The ASTM G48-03 standard test method was used for evaluating the corrosion resistance of stainless steel by using a Ferric Chloride solution. The results of the experimental study were discussed in detail in this paper. It is revealed that the immersion method with varying temperatures and varying immersion times has indicated there is an increase in corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel
