AB Austenitic stainless steel alloys are used in different food industry applications, including the preparation and storage of acidified carbonated soft drinks. Yet, austenitic stainless steels are not inert materials in contact with these drinks, and eventual modifications of these alloys must be investigated. Three carbonated soft drinks were investigated as for their effect on the stability of FeCrNi and FeCrNiMo alloys using two electrochemical techniques, namely linear potentiodynamic polarization (LPP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), at 25 ºC. The high corrosion resistance of the austenitic stainless steel alloys in the soft drinks was provided by the formation of a rather stable passive film formed by metal oxides. Also, the electrochemical behaviour was related to an inhibitory action by caffeine as evidenced using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods, with good correlations between them
