Abstract Q355 steel, a high-strength low-alloy steel is extensively used in offshore structures and naval vessels. Its service environment is extremely aggressive, characterized by elevated temperature, high humidity, elevated salinity, and intense ultraviolet radiation, which renders Q355 steel highly susceptible to corrosion. Particularly, when coupled with the impingement of seawater and chloride-laden sand, the imposed erosion loads dramatically accelerate the degradation of critical Q355 steel components, potentially leading to catastrophic failure. Clarifying the corrosion mechanism of Q355 steel in realistic service conditions is therefore crucial for guiding corrosion-mitigation strategies and refining metallurgical processes. Nevertheless, the acceleration laws governing erosion-induced corrosion in multi-factor environments remain poorly elucidated. In this study, rust-layer morphology and composition are examined, while potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are employed to quantify the corrosion kinetics of the Q355 steel. Acceleration factors are further calculated to assess the erosion contribution. Results demonstrate that erosion markedly accelerates the corrosion of Q355 steel primarily by mechanically damaging the substrate surface, generating defects that deteriorate the rust layer and diminish its self-healing capability. Under the synergistic influence of erosion and multi-factors of the environment, these two factors may alter the rust-layer structure and composition, contributing 49% and 51%, respectively, to the overall corrosion rate. Erosion dynamically modulates the anodic and cathodic reactions, with 28% of the corrosion current density directly governed by the erosion action. Integrating morphological, compositional, and electrochemical data yields an acceleration factor of 1.28 for erosion-induced corrosion of the Q355 steel.
