The corrosion behavior of low carbon bainitic steel with Cu-P alloying in the environment simulating coastal industrial atmosphere was investigated by using dry-wet cycling corrosion test. 09CuPCrNi steel and low carbon bainitic steel without Cu-P alloying were used as comparative steels. The corrosion kinetics and electrochemical impedance spectra of the steels were measured, respectively. The morphologies of rust layers were observed by SEM and the phase constitutes of the rust layers were analyzed by XRD. Low carbon bainitic steel with Cu-P alloying behaves the lowest corrosion rate and the highest resistance of rust layer. Bainite microstructure is responsible for the uniform corrosion and the formation of dense rust layer. Cu-P alloying accelerates the transformation of gamma-FeOOH and Fe3O4 to thermodynamic stable phase alpha-FeOOH, which improves the protective effect of the rust layer.

Abstract Mössbauer spectroscopy has been used to analyze the rust layers formed on a weathering steel and a 1010 steel exposed for 10-1/2 months to an urban-industrial atmosphere. No significant difference was found comparing the rusts of both steels: they were composed by γ-FeOOH, superparamagnetic α-FeOOH, and an amorphous or gel-like compound. γ-FeOOH is more abundant in the internal rust layers, whereas the amount of α-FeOOH and the amorphous compound increase in the external rusts. Part of the samples received an initial copper deposit by immersion of the steel plates in a CuSO4 bath. Mössbauer spectroscopy analysis showed that the amorphous substance was no longer present in the rusts of those specimens; that is, the rusts of both steels were formed only by γ-FeOOH and α-FeOOH.

Based on the 355MPa high weather-resistant steel, three different kinds of high weather-resistant steels were designed by varying the content of Ni. The the corrosion resistance of the high weather-resistant steel as well as the influence of Ni content on the corrosion resistance were studied in the present investigation. The results of the cycle corrosion tests indicated that with the addition of Ni, the corrosion resistance was improved to some extent. The rust layer of the weathering steel was composed of α-FeOOH and γ-FeOOH at the beginning of corrosion, and the α-FeOOH turned to γ-FeOOH which enhanced the corrosion resistance.

Purpose This study aims to study the effect of Sn on the corrosion behavior of weathering steel (WS) in a simulated tropical marine atmosphere. Design/methodology/approach Indoor alternate immersion tests, electrochemical measurements and real-time current-monitoring technology based on the galvanic corrosion principle were used and the scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron probe microanalyzer were used to analyze the morphology and component of the rust layer. Findings The results indicated that Sn has a positive influence on the corrosion process. Sn participated in the composition of the rust layer in the form of SnO2 and is enriched in the inner rust layer. SnO2 participated in the coprecipitation process with iron oxides and oxyhydroxides, which promoted further transformation of γ-FeOOH to α-FeOOH. As a result, the rust layer of Sn-containing steel was continuous, compact and effectively blocked the invasion of aggressive Cl−. Therefore, the additive of Sn enhanced the corrosion resistance of WS in a simulated tropical marine atmosphere. Originality/value The corrosion behaviors of WS were researched by the real-time current-monitoring technology which was rarely used.
