Abstract

The study of the corrosion products formed on the surface of Type 316 stainless steel exposed to chlorinated seawater for 18 days shows that ferrihydrite and lepidocrocite are the first oxides to form. The surface also shows the formation of a martensite when it is cleaned by light brushing before exposure.

Samples of weathering steel, ASTM A242 Type 1, exposed for 51/2 years to either a marine or inland rural environment have been studied between 100K and 400K using CEMS and XMS. Different amounts of hydroxoxides are present on the surface of each sample. The steel exposed to the inland environment contains more α-FeOOH.
