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.
