Abstract

In order to study the corrosion characteristics of 16Mn and X42 steel in natural seawater, the indoor contrast corrosion experiments are carried out in seawater by electrochemical method. Tafel polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques are employed to investigate the corrosion electrochemical behavior of 16Mn and X42 steel, which are acquired by electrochemical workstation. The results of polarization curves and EIS reveal the respective corrosion rules of 16Mn and X42 steel in natural seawater. At last, the different influence of corrosion scale on the corrosion process of 16Mn and X42 steel is analyzed contrastively.
