Abstract
The corrosion process of flanges formed by cataphoretically coated micro-alloyed cold-rolled steel and a polymer crevice former is investigated and simulated numerically using the finite element method (FEM). Boundary conditions are determined experimentally, including the effect of corrosion products on the diffusion of diluted species through the porous medium and the reaction kinetics on the surface of magnetite (Fe3O4) as a main corrosion product. Therefore, polarization curves are measured on sintered magnetite pellets. The experimental results as well as the temperature cycle in the test climate are used as boundary conditions in the numerical simulation. Finally, good agreement between the simulation and the experiment is achieved.
