Abstract

The alternating current (AC) corrosion behavior of X80 steels annealed for different times was investigated in an alkaline soil simulation solution by electrochemical measurement, immersion test and surface analysis technology. The results show that with or without AC interference, the steels annealed for various times have different corrosion resistance. The anticorrosion resistance of steel improves with an increase in annealing time. AC interference results in the evolution of the main cathodic reaction, and facilitates the corrosion of the steels. The steel annealed for 20 min presents a more severe corrosion degree with distinct pits. The corrosion behavior of the steels annealed for different times with AC application is closely related to the microstructure. A decrease in pearlite reduces the number of galvanic corrosion cells, decreasing the corrosion rate of steel. And the grain increase is beneficial for improving the corrosion resistance of the annealed steel.
