Research of Rust Layer Stabilization on Bare Steel

The performance of bare steel’s rust stabilization was studied using cycle immersion corrosion test and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that after specimens were corroded in 3% NaCl solution, rust bubble of stabilized specimen was smaller than rust bubble of unstabilized specimen, corrosion rate of stabilized specimen was lower than corrosion rate of unstabilized specimen, and rust layers of stabilized specimen and unstabilized specimen were mainly composed of γ-FeOOH and Fe3O4.
