Abstract: This chapter talks about the Intergranular corrosion (IGC) which is commonly known as "interdendritic corrosion" or "intercrystalline corrosion". For alloys and in some environments, intergranular corrosion is preferential corrosion at the grain boundaries of the material. Some stainless steels highly alloyed austenitic chromium-nickel and ferritic chromium steels are particularly susceptible to this sort of corrosion. Most commonly, alloys undergo IGC when they have been subjected to certain heat treatments or processes. The mechanisms underlying intergranular corrosion, its prevention strategies, and some case studies are further explored in this chapter.
