Abstract
The density of pitting on annealed metal is considerably higher than on unannealed metal at all levels of deformation. The amount of pitting increases with an increase in the degree of deformation of both annealed and unannealed steel and reaches a maximum at the state of intensive strain hardening characterized by the most negative repassivation potentials.
