Corrosion significantly degrades the fatigue performance of high‐strength steel wires. This study conducts an extensive review of corrosion fatigue in corroded steel wires based on relevant literature. It outlines corrosion fatigue evolution mechanisms and discusses various test methodologies. Six distinct approaches are employed to assess corrosion fatigue life. A three‐stage multiscale corrosion fatigue evolution process involves pitting formation and growth, short crack propagation, and long crack propagation. Advanced fatigue assessment methods like the theory of critical distances (TCD) and the strain energy density (SED) are explored for predicting the corrosion fatigue life for corroded steel wires. A model utilizes an elastoplastic corrosion fatigue damage framework to comprehensively represent the complex interactions. The physics‐data‐driven method has garnered increasing attention due to its requirement of fewer sample data and good robustness. Moreover, the reliability method underscores its pivotal role in guaranteeing the longevity of suspenders and cables in practical settings.

A fatigue test and numerical simulation on corroded high-strength steel wires with multiple corrosion pits were conducted. A new approach combining the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and the Equivalent Initial Flaw Size (EIFS) was proposed to investigate three-dimensional fatigue crack growth and life prediction. The EIFS values for the steel wires were determined under various stress ranges and corrosion pit conditions. The fatigue crack propagation path, the fatigue life, and the stress variation under different pit types and depths were investigated. The results reveal a significant linear relationship between the maximum principal stress range and the fatigue life in logarithmic coordinates for steel wires with various pit types. Additionally, the EIFS is found to be dependent on the stress range and the pit depth. All the predicted outcomes fall within a range of twice the margin of error. The accuracy of this novel method is further verified by comparing predicted results with the test data. This research contributes to a better understanding of the fatigue performance of corroded high-strength steel wires and can assist in the design and maintenance of notched components.

“…In addition to the excellent mechanical properties of steel wires, bridge cables also have high requirements for the corrosion resistance of steel wires [7,8]. The working environment of bridge cables has been in humid air for a long time, and sometimes suffered from wind and rain, so they are vulnerable to corrosion, fatigue, and other damage.…”

In this work, the effect of the hot dip plating process on the microstructure and properties of zinc–10%aluminum–mischmetal (Zn-10Al-MM) alloy coated for bridge cable wire was studied by changing the hot dip plating temperature, time, and cooling mode. An optical microscope was used to observe the microstructure of the coating and steel wire at low power; a GeminiSEM300 field emission scanning electron microscope was used to observe the microstructure of the coating and steel wire at high power. The hot dip planting temperature is 450 °C, the hot dip plating time is 30 s and 45 s, whether water cooling or air cooling, the hot dip coating structure is relatively uniform, and the grain size is small, the hot dip coating thickness is thick. The coating with 450 °C, 45 s, and the water-cooling process has the highest tensile strength. The corrosion resistance of the hot dip coatings under different processes is higher in the salt spray test. Based on the results of the electrochemical test and salt spray test, the best corrosion resistance of the coatings under 450 °C, 45 s, and the water-cooling process is obtained.
