Abstract:
      This paper reviewed the types of atmospheric corrosion of common metals used in transformer substations and current status of researches on these corrosions. As to stainless steel, aluminum and aluminum alloy, Clin marine atmosphere would lead to crack of passivation coating and pitting would occur when Cl- concentration passes the critical concentration [Cl-]pit. As to copper and copper alloy, the corrosion effect of SO2 is obvious. As to zinc and zinc alloy, Cl- enhances the electrical conductivity of surface liquid film, thus aggravating the corrosion. In conclusion, high wetting time and high Cl- concentration are main causes for atmospheric corrosion of coastal transformer substation.
