“…However, only a few systematic studies were devoted to the influence of small variations of composition on the behavior of steel in marine environments . Moreover, significant variations and some inconsistencies can be noted and it is somehow difficult to deduce from these works, that were mainly empirical, clear trends for the beneficial/detrimental effect of a given alloying element.…”

Carbon steel and low alloy (containing Al and Cr) steel coupons were immersed for 6–7 months in stagnant artificial seawater or in natural marine site. The corrosion processes were studied via the combination of electrochemical techniques and the analysis of corrosion product layers by µ‐Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction. In natural seawater, the low alloy steel showed better resistance to corrosion and the best results were obtained when the mill scale was removed from the steel surface. This shows that improved corrosion resistance is due to a protective layer that forms spontaneously in the environment. In stagnant artificial seawater, the behavior of low alloy steel coupons (without mill scale) was compared with that of carbon steel coupons. The polarization resistance of the carbon steel coupons remained approximately constant over time. The corrosion product layer proved to be mainly composed of magnetite, an electronic conductor that does not hinder oxygen reduction. In contrast, the polarization resistance of the low alloy steel coupons increased with time, as the growing corrosion product layer, enriched with insulating FeOOH compounds, hindered oxygen diffusion.

“…A zinc (Zn) epoxy-primer coating is mainly used in the ballast tank for the prevention of corrosion; however, this coating is not an ideal protector of the ballast tank because of existing defects, and therefore high-corrosion-resistant steel is required [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Many studies on the alloying elements in carbon steels have been undertaken because it is widely used in seawater structures due to its high availability, simple fabrication process, and low cost [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”

This study examined the synergic effect of alloying the element Cr and the environmental element Mg2+ ions on the corrosion property of a low-alloy steel in seawater at 60 °C, by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization resistance (LPR) tests and weight-loss tests. The Mg2+ ions in seawater played an important role in lowering the electron transfer of the rust layer in the Cr-containing steel. The corrosion resistance of the Cr-containing steel is superior to that of blank steel in Mg2+ ions containing seawater. XPS and XRD results indicated that the formation of MgFe2O4 and a mixed layer (Cr oxide + FeCr2O4 + MgCr2O4) improved the corrosion resistance of the low-alloy steel in the seawater.

“…1,2 However, generally alterations in the amount of carbon and manganese in steel has very little effect on its corrosion behaviour in marine environments. 3,4 Thus, where the corrosion conditions prevailing are aerobic in the marine environment, the effect of carbon on corrosion behaviour is not significant. However, in anaerobic conditions carbon content may have some effect on corrosion behaviour of steel.…”

“…2 For copper microalloying, there are some contradiction on its effect on steel corrosion. Thus, microalloying of copper has been reported to be beneficial, 4-6 neutral 8 and detrimental 3,7 from the corrosion point of view. The beneficial effect of copper microalloying can be further improved by the combined presence of copper and phosphorus.…”

The present study has been carried out to investigate the corrosion behaviour of carbonmanganese steels in chloride environments at short exposure times. The influence of copper phosphorous microalloying on the corrosion resistance of carbon-manganese steels has been also addressed. The microalloying of copper and phosphorus in the steel has shown significant improvement in corrosion resistance, indicating greater hindrance to anodic dissolution. Laser Raman spectroscopy studies have shown the presence of different oxyhydroxides on the samples of carbon-manganese and copper phosphorous microalloyed steels. It was confirmed that the presence of predominant and adherent d-FeOOH resulted in a slower dissolution rate for copper and phosphorous microalloyed steel.
