Abstract

Corrosion fatigue and fatigue crack propagation experiments were conducted using X80 steel (with and without aluminum coating) in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Results show that the aluminum coating could significantly improve the corrosion fatigue life of the steel substrate, and that this influence would be enhanced by decreasing the applied stress. However, the crack growth rate of the aluminum-coated X80 steel was slightly higher than that of bare X80 steel. Therefore, the presence of aluminum coating extends the crack initiation stage, and the inhibiting effect of aluminum coating on crack initiation outweighs its promotion of crack propagation. The acting mechanisms of the aluminum coating on crack initiation and propagation were discussed.
