In this study, the effect of chloride in marine environment on carbon steel reinforcement corrosion was investigated. The nature of corrosion products produced was analyzed through visual inspection and X Ray Diffraction (XRD). It was very difficult using gain and loss technique alone to evaluate passivation conditions and corrosion reactions. It was found that the corrosion rate of steel increases with the increasing of sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration when steel bars without concrete were used. However, a passive film was formed on all steel samples embedded in concrete due to concrete alkalinity. Results reveal that most corrosion products were mainly FeO(OH) along with FeCO3 and Fe2O3.

Abstract The corrosion products formed on carbon steel exposed to the Qinghai Salt Lake atmosphere for 12 months was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), x-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared transmission spectroscopy (IRS), and electrochemical techniques. The rust was mainly composed of akaganeite (β-FeOOH), iron hydroxychloride (Fe8[O,OH]16Cl1.3), and a little lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH). Amorphous δ-FeOOH was only on the downward surface, and the upward surface was corroded more severely than the downward surface. Cl, Mg, and Si foreign elements were rich in the rust. The rust on carbon steel decreased anodic dissolution and increased cathodic current. A low free corrosion potential of the rusted electrode and a very small value of rust resistance (RR) demonstrated that the rust was nonprotective in the Qinghai Salt Lake atmosphere.

Two alloys of steel containing nominally 0.45C-1.0Si-2.0Mn-0.8Al and 1.2Al were cast in open air induction furnace. Dilatation testing was carried out to recognize the effect on Aluminum on the different critically transformation temperatures. The alloys were hot forged at 1200°C and then subjected to different cooling rates. Mechanical testing was carried out at room temperature. Optical and SEM microstructure were observed. X-ray diffraction was conducted to observe the microstructure constituents.

Purpose This paper aims to explore the transformation process and transformation mechanism of carbon steel under the marine environment. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the transformation and rust layers corrosion products on 0Cu2Cr carbon steel with different cycles coupon test was investigated and deeply explored by scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer, X-ray diffraction. Findings The results showed that the thickness of rust layers grew from 71.83 µm to 533.7 µm with increasing duration of corrosion. The initial corrosion product was γ-FeOOH, then part of the γ-FeOOH continued growing, and under the capillary action, the other part of the γ-FeOOH transformed to α-FeOOH. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper puts forward for the first time a new viewpoint of the development of corrosion products of low-carbon steel in two ways. This discovery provides a new idea for the future development of steel for marine engineering.

In this work, the iron bacteria were cultured and inoculated into the cooling water before immersion, and low carbon steel coupons were immersed for one month. Then, microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) of carbon steel in the presence of these bacteria was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) and weight loss methods. SEM results showed that large amounts of corrosion products and heterogeneous biofilm layer were formed on the coupon surface. SEM also revealed the uniform-pitting corrosion on the steel surface due to bacteria colonization. XRD results show that the main constituents present in corrosion product are composed of iron oxides and iron hydroxides.

The corrosion processes and mechanisms of Q235A steel under wet-dry cyclic condition were studied using polarization curve compared with immersion samples, while, the corrosion morphologies and corrosion products of the steel samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The cathodic process of wet-dry samples was likely to be controlled not by the oxygen reduction, but rather by the reduction of corrosion products. During the drying process of the wet-dry sample, the electrolyte thickness decreased and chloride concentration increased. Oxygen would be much easier to diffuse into the interface of electrolyte/metal, which improved the cathodic reduction processes. Except for this, the rust itself took part in the reduction processes and hence increased the corrosion rate of the steel samples.
