Abstract
The influence of rare earth addition on the mechanism of localised corrosion induced by inclusions in Zr-Ti deoxidised steel was investigated in a simulated marine environment. Inclusion size and composition changed after rare earth addition, profoundly affecting the localised corrosion. Current sensing atomic force microscopy results showed that no galvanic couple formed between inclusions and matrix owing to the insulating property of different inclusions. Matrix dissolution resulting from the microcrevices and lattice distortion surrounding ZrO2-Ti2O3-Al2O3 inclusions initiated localised corrosion in Zr-Ti deoxidised steel. After adding RE, localised corrosion was induced by dissolution of the (RE)2O2S-(RE)xSy part of the inclusion.
