Abstract
A correlative method based on TEM, EBSD, and SKPFM was used to investigate the corrosion fatigue behaviors of E690 steel in simulated marine atmosphere. Results revealed E690 steel is susceptible to corrosion fatigue cracking in this environment and PAGBs play a vital role in crack initiation and propagation. Intergranular microcracks were prone to initiate along PAGBs probably due to high-angle grain boundaries and micro-galvanic effect between martensite-austenite (M-A) constitutes and adjacent ferrite. Segregation of alloy elements within M-A constitutes introduced Volta potential variation between M-A constitutes and adjacent ferrite, resulting in micro-galvanic corrosion between them and eventually intergranular crack initiation along PAGBs.
