    Knife Line Attack: It is a type of intergranular corrosion which stabilizes steel which is in contact with the weld after heating till the sensitization temperature.

    - This type of corrosion is called as knife line attack as the attack appears razor sharp.

    - Knife line attack can be prevented by restabilizing metals by post welding heat treatment at a temperature of 1065°C.

    - Intergranular corrosion: This corrosion occurs on the grain boundaries of metals. This corrosion is caused due to difference in chemical composition, migration of impurities, etc.
