When stainless steels are sensitized, intergranular corrosion resistance decreases and sensitization is assumed to be one of the causes of stress corrosion cracking under severe environment in nuclear reactors. For various stainless steels, Laser surface melting (LSM) with CO₂ laser have been reported. In this study YAG laser that is able to transmit energy with the optical fiber is used. Influence of LSM condition on intergranular corrosion resistance was examined. Experimental results indicated that by LSM sensitized Type 316 stainless steel restored intergranular corrosion resistance as the material after solution treatment. Moreover, The material that sensitized in low temperature (LTS) 500°C for 24 hours after LSM exhibited the same degree of intergranular corrosion resistance as the material after solution treatment. This would be caused by lower δ ferrite volume fraction in the solidified microstructure after LSM than that in arc welding metal.
