	  abstract     = {The localized corrosion behavior of laser surface
melted 304L austenitic stainless steel was studied by
potentiodynamic polarization test. The extent of improvement in
corrosion resistance was governed by the preferred orientation and
the percentage of delta ferrite present on the surface of the laser
melted sample. It was established by orientation imaging microscopy
that the highest pitting potential value was obtained when grains were
oriented in the most close- packed [101] direction compared to the
random distribution of the base metal and other laser surface melted
samples oriented in [001] direction. The sample with lower
percentage of ferrite had good pitting resistance.},
