Corrosion Behavior and Mechanical Properties of 30CrMnSiA High-Strength Steel under an Indoor Accelerated Harsh Marine Atmospheric Environment

In this work, the corrosion behavior and mechanical properties of 30CrMnSiA high-strength steel under a harsh marine atmosphere environment were systematically studied using accelerated test technology, along with corrosion kinetic analysis, microstructure and phase composition analysis, electrochemical measurements, and mechanical property tests. The influence of corrosion time on corrosion kinetics was characterized by the weight loss method. The corrosion layer and its product evolution were analyzed by SEM, EDS, XRD, and XPS. The corrosion behavior of steel was studied by a potentiodynamic polarization curve and EIS. Finally, the influence of corrosion on mechanical properties was studied by tensile and fatigue tests. The results show that 30CrMnSiA high strength steel has good corrosion resistance in a harsh marine atmosphere environment. Its corrosion behavior is cyclical: the outer rust layer exfoliated, the inner rust layer became the outer rust layer, and the matrix became inner rust due to the attack by the corrosive medium. The rust layer had a great protective effect on the matrix. The mechanical properties of 30CrMnSiA high-strength steel were reduced under the corrosive environment, and corrosion had a significant effect on its fatigue resistance.

Modeling of the Marine atmosphere and its impact on Ka-band channels

The sea atmosphere environment will affect the Ka frequency channel in TT&C. Firstly, this paper briefly introduces the Marine atmospheric environment. Attenuation models of water vapor solubility and rainfall intensity are established. The variation characteristics of atmospheric environment and the estimation method of rainfall intensity are studied. Finally, the influence of Marine atmosphere on Ka-band channel is simulated and analyzed. The simulation results show that different elevation angles have different effects on Ka-band channels. The influence result decreases gradually with the elevation Angle increasing.

Mapping gaseous dimethylamine, trimethylamine, ammonia, and their particulate counterparts in marine atmospheres of China's marginal seas – Part 1: Differentiating marine emission from continental transport

To study sea-derived gaseous amines, ammonia, and primary particulate aminium ions in the marine atmosphere of China's marginal seas, an onboard URG-9000D Ambient Ion Monitor-Ion Chromatograph (AIM-IC, Thermo Fisher) was set up on the front deck of the R/V Dongfanghong-3 to semi-continuously measure the spatiotemporal variations in the concentrations of atmospheric trimethylamine (TMAgas), dimethylamine (DMAgas), and ammonia (NH3gas) along with their particulate matter (PM2.5) counterparts. In this study, we differentiated marine emissions of the gas species from continental transport using data obtained from 9 to 22 December 2019 during the cruise over the Yellow and Bohai seas, facilitated by additional short-term measurements collected at a coastal site near the Yellow Sea during the summer, fall, and winter of 2019. The data obtained from the cruise and coastal sites demonstrated that the observed TMAgas and protonated trimethylamine (TMAH+) in PM2.5 over the Yellow and Bohai seas overwhelmingly originated from marine sources. During the cruise, no significant correlation (P>0.05) was observed between the simultaneously measured TMAH+ and TMAgas concentrations. Additionally, the concentrations of TMAH+ in the marine atmosphere varied around 0.28±0.18 µg m−3 (average ± standard deviation), with several episodic hourly average values exceeding 1 µg m−3, which were approximately 1 order of magnitude larger than those of TMAgas (approximately 0.031±0.009 µg m−3). Moreover, there was a significant negative correlation (P<0.01) between the concentrations of TMAH+ and NH4+ in PM2.5. Therefore, the observed TMAH+ in PM2.5 was overwhelmingly derived from primary sea-spray aerosols. Using TMAgas and TMAH+ in PM2.5 as tracers for sea-derived basic gases and sea-spray particulate aminium ions, the values of non-sea-derived DMAgas, NH3gas, and non-sea-spray particulate DMAH+ in PM2.5 were estimated. The estimated average values of each species contributed 16 %, 34 %, and 65 % of the observed average concentrations for non-sea-derived DMAgas, NH3gas, and non-sea-spray particulate DMAH+ in PM2.5, respectively. Uncertainties remained in the estimations, as TMAH+ may decompose into smaller molecules in seawater to varying extents. The non-sea-derived gases and non-sea-spray particulate DMAH+ likely originated from long-range transport from the upwind continents based on the recorded offshore winds and increased concentrations of non-sea-salt SO42- (nss-SO42-) and NH4+ in PM2.5. The lack of a detectable increase in particulate DMAH+, NH4+, and nss-SO42- concentrations in several SO2 plumes did not support the secondary formation of particulate DMAH+ in the marine atmosphere.
