Abstract

The real sea water corrosion behavior of 304 stainless steel was studied at different depths such as 1200, 2000 and 3000 m below sea level in the South China Sea via a home-made series cage-like equipment, as well as SEM, EDS, EIS and XPS techniques. The results show that: the corrosion rate of 304 stainless steel in deep sea is relatively small. The corrosion rates for 0.5 a at depths of 1200, 2000, and 3000 m below sea level are 1.84, 2.07, and 3.11 μm/a, respectively, and the corrosion rate slightly increases with the depth. The influence degree of seawater environmental factors on the corrosion rate of 304 stainless steel decreases in a descending order as follows: pressure, oxygen content, electrical conductivity, temperature, pH. Crevice corrosion occurs locally on the surface of 304 stainless steel and the depth of the crevice corrosion increases with the increasing depth. The corrosion products for the tested 304 stainless steel consist mainly of Fe₃O₄ and NiO.

Key words: deep sea environment 304 stainless steel corrosion real sea experiment
