Abstract
ABSTRACT This study applied a novel in situ spectral modulation interferometry (SMI) technique to quantitatively measure the spatiotemporal corrosion kinetics on the surface of low carbon steel. The 3D topography map showed an early formation of localised shallow pits on the surface subjected to a chloride-free solution. In contrast, the steel samples in chloride-enriched solution revealed early-age microcracks or intergranular defective sites. The quantitative analysis of the height profile data (acquired from SMI) verified the heterogeneity of the corrosion process of these samples susceptible to pitting corrosion and intergranular corrosion behaviour. The estimated volume loss followed a similar trend to the 3D surface topography data. Still, a distinct behaviour in the volume loss was observed when compared to the void volume obtained from the electrochemical data.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology provides broad international coverage of research and practice in corrosion processes and corrosion control. Peer-reviewed contributions address all aspects of corrosion engineering and corrosion science; there is strong emphasis on effective design and materials selection to combat corrosion and the journal carries failure case studies to further knowledge in these areas.
