Abstract

The effect of mill scale on the evolution of the fast-stabilized rust layer and anti-corrosion performance of Q345qDNH weathering steel in industrial atmospheric environment was studied via real atmospheric exposure testing, field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), field emission electron probe (FE-EPMA), micro-Raman Spectrum and electrochemical technique. The results showed that the presence of Fe₃O₄, Fe₂O₃, a small amount of FeO and FeCr₂O₄ in the oxide scales could improve the compactness of the rust layer, but could not change the types of corrosion products of Q345qDNH weathering steel. The corrosion products of the bare steel and the steel with mill scale were mainly composed of γ-FeOOH, α-FeOOH and Fe₃O₄. In the three types of corrosion products, the propagation of α-FeOOH is an inward growing process. The steels with mill scales present better rust layer stabilization and corrosion resistance due to the existence of Fe₃O₄ in the mill scale could promote the formation of α-FeOOH.

Key words: Q345qDNH weathering steel oxidized scale industrial atmospheric corrosion stabilization treatment
