Corrosion behaviors of DP-type and TRIP-type cold rolled steel sheet have been investigated using cathodic Tafel extrapolation test and immersion test, measuring nano-scale hardness of various phases and the volume fraction of various phases, and analyzing inclusion and nitride. Based upon nano-scale hardness of various phases before and after potentiodynamic anodic polarization test in deaerated 5 mass% NaCl at 35 C, the phase with the most inferior corrosion resistance in DP-type steel is martensite ( 0 ) and that in TRIP-type steel is bainite ( B ). The reasons why corrosion rate of TRIP-type steel is lower than that of DP-type steel are first, the volume fraction (39.8 vol%) of bainite ( B ) in TRIP-type steel is higher than that (15.9 vol%) of martensite ( 0 ) in DP-type steel and second, the corrosion resistance of oxide and nitride formed in TRIPtype steel is more than that of sulfide formed in DP-type steel.
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.
