Abstract
This work investigated the influence of Sn and Mo on corrosion behavior of ferrite-pearlite steel in the simulated bottom plate environment of cargo oil tank. The results indicate that the corrosion rate of three ferrite-pearlite steels increased with extending the immersion time due to the continuous accumulation of the residual Fe3C. However, the addition of Sn or the combined addition of Sn and Mo could reduce the corrosion rate of Sn containing steel and Sn-Mo containing steel to 37.5% and 20% of that of carbon steel, respectively. Moreover, the cathodic reaction of Sn containing steel and Sn-Mo containing steel was always controlled by the charge transfer step during the whole immersion test, while that of carbon steel was gradually transformed into the diffusion-controlled process. These results were mainly related with the deposition of metallic Sn and Mo on the steel surface. The metallic Sn and Mo with uniform distribution restrained the galvanic effect through suppressing both the anodic dissolution of ferrite and cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction on the residual Fe3C.
