Abstract:
      Objective To study corrosion behaviors of carbon steel in different water circumstances. Methods Two kinds of typical metals, including 45# and Q235 carbon steel, were exposed in seawater, freshwater and natural environment alternatively between seawater/freshwater for 2 years to compare data on corrosion morphology and corrosion rate. The corrosion rules of 2 kinds of materials in different water circumstances were summarized. The corrosion mechanism was discussed, and the long-term corrosion behaviors were also predicted. Results For 45# steel, influences of brackish water environment was 92% of seawater environment, influences of freshwater environment was 46% of seawater environment; for Q235 steel, influences of brackish water environment was88% of seawater environment; influences of freshwater environment was 53% of seawater environment. Conclusion The corrosion resistance of carbon steel is the poorest in seawater environment, medium in brackish water environment and the best in freshwater environment.
