Knife-line attack refers to the intergranular corrosion of an alloy, usually stabilized stainless steel, along a line adjoining or in contact with a weld after heating into the sensitization temperature range. The corrosive attack is restricted to extremely narrow line adjoining the fusion line. Attack appears razor-sharp and hence the name of “knife-line” attack.
