Abstract
This study investigated the coupling mechanism of shrinkage defects and graphite on the corrosion resistance of ductile iron by electrochemical measurements, quasi-in-situ immersion tests and numerical simulations. The detrimental impact of shrinkage defects was confirmed by elevated corrosion current density and the formation of a porous corrosion product layer. Multiple-galvanic coupling effect among the matrix, graphite, and shrinkage defects serves as corrosion triggers, which is verified by scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM) and numerical simulations. Additionally, quasi-in-situ observations corroborate the deposition of corrosion products and Cl enrichment at defect bottoms, expediting occluded cell formation and corrosion propagation.
