Effect of Carburization on the Structure and Corrosion Resistance of Low-Carbon Steel C22

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The effect of carburization on the corrosion resistance of carbon steel C22 in simulated seawater is studied using potentiodynamic polarization and impedance spectroscopy. The phase composition and structure of the surface layers of carburized steel are determined by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. It is shown that carburization leads to an increase in the corrosion resistance of steel.
