Abstract:
      In deep-sea environment, high-strength steel welded joints often suffer from various types of corrosion, such as pitting corrosion and stress corrosion. The work aims to study the effect of deep sea hydrostatic pressure on the corrosion of welded joints and explore the corrosion mechanism. Methods such as corrosion microstructure observation, corrosion product analysis, and electrochemical characterization were combined to study the corrosion behavior of high-strength steel welded joints in low-temperature seawater and deep sea environments. The results indicated that, the increase of hydrostatic water pressure would exacerbate the corrosion of Ni-Cr-Mo-V high strength steel welded joints. The corrosion rate of high-strength steel welded joints in low-temperature seawater and deep-sea environments showed a trend of rapid decrease in the early stage and later slowing down with the increase of corrosion time. The main corrosion products on high-strength steel welded joints after immersing in seawater for different periods were α-Fe2O3, γ-FeOOH, α-FeOOH and Fe3O4. High strength steel welded joints suffered comprehensive corrosion, mainly with a trend of uniform corrosion pits merging, on the surface in low-temperature seawater environments, while localized corrosion mainly occurred in deep-sea environments. Different hydrostatic pressures cause changes in the corrosion pattern of high-strength steel welded joints, which in turn affects their corrosion rate.
