Abstract The corrosion properties of the austenitic Fe-30.8Mn-8.2Al alloy in a series of aqueous solutions at PH -0.8 to 15.3 and the corrosion protection mechanism induced by adding Al were studied by anodic polarization technique and by AES/ XPS analysis. The corrosion behaviour of the alloy was compared with that of Fe-30Mn alloy, mild steel, cryogenic 9% Ni steel and 1Cr13 stainless steel. The addition of 30 Wt% Mn into mild steel was very detrimental to its corrosion resistance in aqueous solution. The Fe-30Mn alloy only showed passivation behaviour in NaOH solution while the anodic polarization curves of Fe-30.8Mn-8.2Al alloy exhibited a stable passiwtion region in 1M Na2SO4, 10~50% HNO3 and 10~50%NaOH solutions, but in 10% HCI and 3.5% NaCI solutions, no passivation was observed. The corrosion resistance of Fe-30.8Mn-8.2Al alloy in these aqueous solutions was comparable to that of cryogenic 9% Ni steel but inferior to that of 1Cr13 stainless steel. According to AES/XPS analyses, the outermost surfae layer and the main part of the passive film formed on the Fe-30.8Mn-Al alloy in 1M Na2SO4 solution probably consisted of the hydroxide and a capture of iron, manganess and aluminium oxides.
