Dew Point Corrosion Behavior of Rolling Q235 Steel Using In Situ Electrochemical Measurement postprint

Abstract: Dew point corrosion (DPC) behavior of rolling Q235 steel was investigated using simulative equipment and electrochemical noise. The results indicated that mass loss of Q235 steel along the rolling direction (RD) is more than that along the normal direction (ND). The main reason was that the cementite was not so easily broken off along normal direction during the corrosion process because of the net-like characteristic of ferrite and pearlite. And weight loss resulting from galvanic corrosion in the two directions was nearly the same with each other.
