Abstract

The corrosion behavior of four steels 30CrMnSiA, 30CrMnSiNi2A, 300M and A100 for amphibious aircraft landing gear in an artificial seawater was studied through immersion testing, electrochemical methods, microscopic morphology, three-dimensional morphology observation, and corrosion product characterization. In addition, the effect of pre-corrosion on the corrosion fatigue performance of the four steels was also investigated. The results show that the electrochemical behavior of the four steels is similar: i.e. the anodic curve exhibits active dissolution characteristics, and the cathodic process is dominated by oxygen reduction reaction. The corrosion rate of the four steels may be ranked in the following order: 30CrMnSiNi2A > 300M > 30CrMnSiA > A100. Their corrosion products are consisted mainly of α-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH, α-Fe₂O₃, and Fe₃O₄. The four steels show uniform corrosion characteristics in artificial seawater environment. After a pre-corrosion treatment, the fatigue property of the steels 30CrMnSiA, 30CrMnSiNi2A and 300M may be deteriorated, but A100 steel is suffered from little effect. The A100 steel presents better seawater corrosion resistance than the other three, mainly because its much higher Co, Ni and Cr content, so that results in corrosion products of better protection performance.

Key words: steels for landing gear artificial seawater corrosion product electrochemical behavior corrosion fatigue
