Abstract  

The atmosphere corrosion behaviour of transmission tower materials including Q235, Q345 and galvanized steel in simulated industrial environments of spraying NaHSO3 solutions was investigated by means of mass loss method, XRD analysis and SEM observation. The results indicated that the corrosion degree of Q235 and Q345 was not significantly increased with the increase of NaHSO3 concentration of the simulated solution below 0.005 mol/L, and that the above two steels presented a trend of accelerated corrosion with the increase of NaHSO3 concentration in the range between 0.005 and 0.02 mol/L, and that the corrosion degree of Q235 and Q345 had not obvious changes with the increase of NaHSO3 concentration in the range between 0.02 and 0.03 mol/L. The results of XRD analysis and SEM observation further suggested that the above corrosion phenomena of Q235 and Q345 steel are strongly related to the fact whether the conversion of corrosion product γ-FeOOH to α-FeOOH did occur or not for the media with the amount of NaHSO3 in every individual concentration range. In addition, the corrosion products on galvanized steel mainly consisted of ZnO, Zn4CO3(OH)6, Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6 and Zn4SO4(OH)6 despite different concentration of spraying solutions.
