Abstract
The corrosion behaviour of Fe-0.45P with/without addition of chromium, prepared by powder forging route was studied in different environments. The corrosion studies in acidic (0.25M H2SO4 solution of pH 0.6) and neutral/marine (3.5% NaCl solution of pH 6.8) solutions were conducted using Tafel Extrapolation method. The rate of corrosion in alkaline medium (0.5M Na2CO3 + 1.0M NaHCO3 solution of pH 9.4) was measured using linear polarization technique. The studies compare electrolytic Armco iron with Fe-P alloys. It was observed that, chromium improved the resistance to corrosion in acidic and marine environments. The corrosion rates were minimal in alkaline medium and low in neutral solution.
