Abstract
To study the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in seawater at different temperatures, a novel electrochemical method called gradient-distributed wire beam electrode technique with high temporal and spatial resolution has been employed. This new wire beam electrode was prepared by three kinds of carbon steel with different carbon contents so that it can evaluate three materials simultaneously in the same corrosion medium (3.5[Formula: see text]wt.% NaCl solution) and improve the accuracy of tests results. After the gradient-distributed wire beam electrode soaked in 3.5[Formula: see text]wt.% NaCl solution for 8[Formula: see text]h, compared with measured at room temperature, the corrosion rate was accelerated greatly and polarity reversal of potential-current was also observed.
