Abstract Mass loss tests were performed for carbon steel corrosion induced by alternating current,as well as the measurement of polarization curves under AC interference. The results show that the AC corrosion rate of carbon steel follows a power function with the AC interference intensity within AC current density 0~250 A/m2, which concerned in this paper. The effect of AC interference on the polarization curves (1) decreasing the surface reaction resistance, and (2) decreasing both of the anodic and cathodic Tafel slopes. Thereby, the AC corrosion characteristics and rules were well explained and the AC corrosion mechanism was also discussed.
