Abstract
High-strength low-alloy 921 A steel faces significant corrosion challenges in harsh marine atmospheric conditions, threatening marine and energy industry safety. This study investigates the corrosion behavior of 921 A steel through accelerated tests in a specially developed multi-factor coupled corrosion chamber. Combining the multi-factor coupling cyclic corrosion test method with finite element numerical simulation, the long-term corrosion behavior can be accurately predicted, and the power function relationship between the corrosion rate and time of the test steel is obtained, which is expressed as C=0.2259 t–0.5182. Analysis identified α-FeOOH, Fe3O4, γ-FeOOH, Cl—, and Cr in corrosion layers. First-principles calculations and XPS analysis showed Cr oxidation inhibits Cl— adsorption and diffusion, highlighting the steel’s corrosion resistance. Finite element analysis and outdoor corrosion data confirmed the corrosion rate and time correlation, proving simulation reliability. This research provides crucial insights into 921 A steel’s corrosion resistance in marine environments, benefiting marine engineering.
