Description

We observed initial rusting process of steel containing Al under wet/dry cyclic condition with NaCl solution film using in situ X-ray diffraction spectroscopy at Spring-8 synchrotron radiation facility. It was found that mass fraction of iron oxides such as α-FeOOH, β-FeOOH and γ-FeOOH varied with Al content. Some kinds of Al oxides wee also found at the initial stage of corrosion. Those corrosion products might affect the corrosion process and corrosion rate of the steel
