I have pitting corrosion, possibaly initiated by stress corrosion crack under chloride ion effect, on external side of 316 stainless steel pipework. It is also suggested that it could have been started due to deposit on the surface, which i cant confirm. It was used under open environmental conditions for three years handling methanol, after which leaks were found. the whole pipework can't be removed due to ecnomical reasons.
Any remidial suggestions are welcome. What should i do to atleast reduce the corrosion rate externally.
