Abstract
In this study, the corrosion behavior of AlMn lightweight weathering steel (LWS) in the simulated marine atmosphere was investigated by means of the dry/wet corrosion cycle test. The results showed that Al was present as FeAl2O4 and enriched in the inner layer, which significantly optimizes the rust layer in terms of compactness, elemental distribution, phase constitution, and electrochemical properties. The Mn oxides promoted the formation of FeAl2O4 and enhanced the anti–rupture ability of the LWS’s rust layer.
期刊介绍:
npj Materials Degradation considers basic and applied research that explores all aspects of the degradation of metallic and non-metallic materials. The journal broadly defines ‘materials degradation’ as a reduction in the ability of a material to perform its task in-service as a result of environmental exposure.
The journal covers a broad range of topics including but not limited to:
-Degradation of metals, glasses, minerals, polymers, ceramics, cements and composites in natural and engineered environments, as a result of various stimuli
-Computational and experimental studies of degradation mechanisms and kinetics
-Characterization of degradation by traditional and emerging techniques
-New approaches and technologies for enhancing resistance to degradation
-Inspection and monitoring techniques for materials in-service, such as sensing technologies
