Abstract

For exploring the corrosion rules of copper-containing low carbon steel under different pH conditions,the electrochemical workstation and metallographic microscope were used to analyze the polarization curves,AC impedance spectra and micro morphologies of ordinary weathering steel (Q345),copper-containing low carbon steel (0Cu3Cr) and hull copper-containing low carbon steel (0CuAl) in NaCl environments with different pH values.Additionally,the difference in corrosion performance between copper-containing steel and low carbon steel in NaCl environments with different pH values was observed.Results showed the self-corrosion potential of the three samples was higher in the NaCl environment with pH=12.The corrosion processes of 0Cu3Cr and 0CuAl were controlled by the anodic dissolution reaction,while that of Q345 was controlled by the cathodic reaction.Moreover,the self-corrosion potential of Q345 and 0Cu3Cr at pH =6 was slightly greater than that at pH=8.The charge transfer resistance values of the three kinds of samples were the largest in the NaCl environment with pH=12.When pH=6,the pitting pits on the surface of 0Cu3Cr were smaller and less numerous.When pH=8,the pitting pits on the surface were larger and more numerous.Besides,the corrosion resistance of 0CuAl at pH=8 was better than that at pH=6.
