摘要

In this study, the modulation mechanism of quenching–tempering (Q&T) treatment on corrosion resistance was revealed through multi-scale interface characterization and finite element simulation methods. Results showed that Q&T treatment significantly enhanced the corrosion resistance of Cu-containing steel. The annual corrosion rate decreased from 0.059 mm/a for untampered steel to 0.028 mm/a for Q&T steel. Numerical simulations showed that Q&T treatment inhibited the local rapid expansion of cracks, making the crack propagation of the rust layer uniform and slow. Meanwhile, the Cl- penetration depth was reduced to 1.2 wt.%, significantly suppressing the invasion of corrosive media. Overall, Q&T treatment inhibited micro-galvanic corrosion and improved rust layer protection, offering theoretical reference for enhancing marine engineering steel durability.
