Abstract:  
This is a process for producing improved chloride corrosion resistance in turbine components fabricated from stainless steels which contains generally at least 1% of both a martensitic and metastable austenitic phase and comprises an initial high-intensity shot peening, followed by an aging cycle at about 980
