摘要

The corrosion resistance of Q420qNH weathering steel was studied after pre-corrosion stabilization using different rust stabilizers and 3 months of industrial atmospheric exposure. XRD, SEM, and electrochemical techniques were applied to evaluate the rust layers. The stabilizers used were the sulfate-type stabilizer (Group A: CuSO4−FeSO4−NaHSO3-0.3–0.8%Cr2(SO4)3) and the precipitation-type stabilizer (Group B: CuSO4−FeSO4−NaHSO3-Na2HPO4). Stabilized samples showed a higher initial corrosion rate that promoted rapid rust layer formation, followed by a reduced corrosion rate and fewer defects. Both untreated and treated rust layers mainly consisted of α-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH, β-FeOOH, and Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3 phases. Stabilization increased the protective α-FeOOH content, with the B group reaching 24% and an α/γ* ratio of 0.32, compared to 0.11 for bare steel. The B group exhibited the most compact rust layer, the highest self-corrosion potential (by + 0.12 V), the lowest self-corrosion current density (by − 0.65 mA cm−2), and the highest rust layer resistance (+120.1 Ω cm2), outperforming the A group and bare steel. The B group solution showed the best protection under a simulated industrial atmosphere.
