In the present work, the modification of a rust layer on a carbon steel surface was examined during a cyclic corrosion test. The rust layer grown in a coastal region of Japan was used as a model rust layer. The x-ray diffraction analysis of the model rust layer revealed that the layer consisted of α-FeOOH, β-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH, and Fe3O4. During the cyclic corrosion test, an additional immersion of the surface in solutions containing metal cations such as Mg2+, Al3+, Cu2+, or Ni2+ was performed. The additional immersion in the cation-containing solutions modified the model rust layer, that is, the fraction of stable α-FeOOH increased in the rust layer. Furthermore, the modification of the model rust layer could suppress the corrosion of steel. The decreased corrosion rate was attributed to the suppressed cathodic reduction of the rust layers due to the presence of the stable α-FeOOH in the rust layers.

The performance of bare steel’s rust stabilization was studied using cycle immersion corrosion test and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that after specimens were corroded in 3% NaCl solution, rust bubble of stabilized specimen was smaller than rust bubble of unstabilized specimen, corrosion rate of stabilized specimen was lower than corrosion rate of unstabilized specimen, and rust layers of stabilized specimen and unstabilized specimen were mainly composed of γ-FeOOH and Fe3O4.

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.

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.

This article investigates the modification of a carbon steel surface by benzotriazole (BTA), and the structure and properties of the formed layers. Adsorption was studied by surface analytical methods such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and reflecting infrared microscopy (FTIR). It has been established that a polymer-like film containing iron-azole complexes that are 2 nm thick and strongly bonded to the metal is formed on the surface as a result of the azole interacting with a steel surface. This film is capable to inhibit uniform and localized corrosion of steel in neutral aqueous electrolytes containing chloride ions. It is shown that the iron-azole layer located at the interface acts as a promotor of adhesion, increasing the interaction of polymeric coatings with the steel surface. Taking into account these properties, the steel pretreatments can be used for improving the anticorrosion properties of polymeric coatings applied for the protection of steel constructions.

Abstract The iron rust phase was analyzed by using the in-situ x-ray diffraction (XRD) and alternating current (AC) impedance methods after a wet/dry corrosion test using sodium chloride (NaCl) solution, which is the main composition of airborne saline particles. The corrosion content of the carbon steel depended on the concentration of Cl ions in the environment of the test chamber. As the concentration of Cl ions increased, the content of β-FeOOH increased in iron rust phases. The transition of β-FeOOH from the green rust I (GRI) was observed directly by in-situ XRD. The amount of GRI depended on the concentration of Cl ions, and β-FeOOH was transformed from GRI automatically in the dry process of the test. AC impedance showed that the resistance of the rust (Rrust) increased with the number of cycles in the corrosion test, and that the structural factor of the rust became predominant in Rrust. With the increase of the amount of rust, the resistance corresponding to the corrosion rate (Rt decreased, which was related to the reduction of β-FeOOH in the rust phase.
