Abstract

In this manuscript, the effect of Mo addition on the corrosion resistance of the low-alloy steel in a simulated tropical marine atmospheric environment has been studied through microstructure characterization, corrosion immersion experiments, electrochemical measurement, and a series of microscopic characterization methods. The results show that Mo has the ability to reduce the corrosion rate of low-alloy steel in a marine atmospheric environment, with a more pronounced reduction effect observed over longer corrosion periods. The addition of Mo enhances the corrosion product film’s compactness when coupled with Cr, subsequently improving corrosion resistance. Simultaneously, MoO42−, acting as a slow-release ion, can effectively suppress localized corrosion in low-alloy steel. The research findings can offer data support and a theoretical foundation for the design of low-alloy steels with enhanced corrosion resistance in a tropical marine atmospheric environment.
