Salt spray corrosion resistance of iron-based alloy 30Cr2Ni4MoV

To understand salt spray corrosion behavior and corrosion mechanism,the resistance of salt sprays corrosion for a Fe-based alloy 30Cr2Ni4MoV used in ship had been studied in the paper.The surface and section of samples corroded for different times,the corrosion products,the corrosion weight loss and corrosion ratio had been analyzed.The result showed that after corrosion 400 h,the surface of samples had been covered with corrosion products,and some corrosion products had separated from the substrate.The main component of corrosion product was FeO(OH).The corrosion of 30Cr2Ni4MoV started form the corrosion pits,and then extended.While the corrosion extent of samples tended to be same,new corrosion pits appeared,and corrosion continued.In the first 100 h,the corrosion rate changed greatly.
