The Influence of Different Gas Welding Flame on Corrosion Behavior of the Carbon Steel’s Heat Affected Zone in Seawater
The influence of different flame of gas welding on corrosion behavior of the carbon steel’s heat affected zone in seawater were studied by the weight-loss method, electroanalytical chemistry method and surface and microstructure observation. The result indicate that when gas welding the carbon steel, the corrosion rate of the heat affected zone under the influence of mild carbonizing flame is 0.1252[g/(m2•h)], in contrast, the corrosion rate of that under the influence of neutral flame is 0.1025[g/(m2•h)]; the order of corrosion current shows as follows: Imild carbonizing flame>Ineutral flame>Ibase metal; the order of measured corrosion potential as follows: Ebase metal>Eneutral flame>Emild carbonizing flame. Compared with the base metal, the heat effected zone are more likely to corrosion, corrosion resistance of the sample under mild carbon flame are the worse.
