The influence of Ni on the corrosion behavior of Ni‐containing weathering steel (Q415NH) was investigated under alternate dry/wet conditions. The results suggested that the addition of Ni shifted the corrosion potential of the steel to the positive direction and lowered the corrosion current density. Furthermore, the addition of Ni was in favor of the formation of a compact and homogeneous inner rust layer (composed of most α‐FeOOH and little β‐FeOOH), leading to enhanced corrosion resistance of the steel in the simulated marine atmosphere.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
