In this paper, the corrosion behavior of 304 stainless steel was investigated in the tidal zone of South China Sea through the field exposure tests. Results reveal that specimens exposed for 0.5 years exhibit minimal corrosion, with surfaces predominantly covered by algae, calcium-magnesium deposits, and barnacle. With prolonged exposure, the number of barnacles attached increases and occluded corrosion micro-cells are formed on the attachment zone, aggravating the localized corrosion condition. Electrochemical results show that specimen exposed for 0.5 years has a self-corrosion potential of -0.07 V (vs. SCE), while that for two years shifts negatively to -0.15 V accompanying a self-corrosion current density increase from 1.91 × 10–8 A cm−2 to 3.89 × 10–8 A cm−2. With prolonged exposure, barnacle attachment increases progressively, reaching 30
This study investigates the aging behavior of carbon-fiber-reinforced brominated bisphenol-A epoxy vinyl ester resin (CFBPA), a marine-grade composite material, through long-term natural exposure testing in Qingdao’s marine atmosphere. Using a comprehensive analytical approach incorporating Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and tensile testing, we systematically characterized the evolution of the chemical, morphological, thermal, and mechanical properties of CFBPA under environmental stressors. The results demonstrated that UV radiation initiates significant resin matrix degradation, whereas prolonged exposure exacerbates carbon fiber deterioration, collectively impairing the mechanical performance of the composite. Microscopic analysis revealed that matrix delamination was predominantly initiated at the fiber–matrix interface. These findings provide critical insights for the development of enhanced environmental protection strategies for marine composite applications, particularly for optimizing interfacial bonding and UV-resistant formulations.
Natural exposure test was carried out on carbon fiber reinforced composites in the marine atmospheric environment of the South China Sea for 0.5 a, 1 a, 1.5 a and 2 a. Based on obtained mechanical properties such as tensile, bending and shear strength of the carbon fiber reinforced composite after exposure test, the grey relational analysis method was adopted, and the environmental damage factor Rr was proposed to comprehensively characterize its mechanical property. According to the value of Rr, the grey prediction model GM (1,1) and the natural weathering model with radiation as independent variable were established respectively. The results show that resin matrix degradation thinning, fiber exposure and other aging phenomena occurred under the influence of irradiation and humidity-heat in the marine atmospheric environment of the South China Sea. Micro-crack damage were found on its surface after 2 years of exposure, and its comprehensive mechanical properties (Rr) decreased with aging time. The accuracy of the grey prediction model reached level 1 (good), while the prediction error of the natural weathering model for the mechanical properties of the carbon fiber reinforced composite after exposure for different periods was less than 0.50
In order to meet the development needs of deep-sea oil and gas resources, deep-sea corrosion coupon tests were carried out in the South China Sea, the Western Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean, which can provide a strong guarantee for the rationality of material selection of oil and gas pipelines, platforms and other facilities. In-depth studies were conducted on the environmental adaptability of typical carbon steel and low alloy steel materials after exposure for one year in the deep-sea environment of different sea areas. The main environmental factors affecting deep-sea corrosion behavior were also collected and analyzed. The results showed that the corrosion morphology of carbon steel and low alloy steel in deep sea environment was more uniform than that in the shallow seawater. With the increase of seawater depth, the evolution law of their corrosion rates in different sea areas was similar, with an obvious decline of corrosion rate in the beginning. The gray correlation results indicated that it was mainly controlled by temperature and dissolved oxygen. The high hydrostatic pressure had limited effect on accelerating the deep sea corrosion rate of carbon steel and low alloy steel, but it promoted the formation of more uniform corrosion morphology.
Abstract The corrosion problem of metal materials in the South China Sea is serious. In order to meet the needs of rapid construction and development of islands and reefs in the South China Sea, it is necessary to establish a rapid evaluation method for the environmental adaptability of materials, which can provide effective guidance for material selection and corrosion control in marine engineering design. According to the atmospheric environment characteristics of islands and reefs in the South China Sea, an accelerated corrosion environment spectrum was designed, and then the atmospheric corrosion behavior in the South China Sea and the indoor accelerated corrosion test environment was studied. The correlation between indoor and outdoor corrosion was verified based on grey correlation analysis, and the prediction model of atmospheric corrosion based on indoor accelerated test results was established. The results show that the corrosion morphology, corrosion type and corrosion kinetic laws of 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel under the indoor and outdoor test conditions had high similarity. Also, their correlation degree reached 0.8052, further indicating a good correlation between indoor and outdoor corrosion. The established prediction model had a relatively high accuracy (Level 2), and its prediction error to outdoor corrosion result was less than 26.13%.
To evaluate the global seawater corrosivity and ensure the service safety of marine equipment, the methods of seawater corrosivity classification, which contained the standard metal corrosion rates method and the environmental factors evaluation method, are proposed and then applied to the seawater corrosivity classification in typical China seas. By comparing the results from both methods, the feasibility of the environmental factors evaluation method based on the grey relational model is verified. Furthermore, with the collection and processing of typical seawater factors data of global ocean, the corrosivity of global seawater is classified into six grades with the corrosion test data of carbon steel as baseline, and its distribution in different months is visualized by means of ArcGIS technology. The results show that the sea areas with high corrosivity are mainly located at equatorial and tropical sea areas, and for carbon steel, seawater temperature was the main influence on seawater corrosivity.

The deep-sea field exposure experiment of 5A06 aluminum alloy was carried out successfully in the South China Sea with the sea depths of 1200 m, 2000 m, and 3000 m for one year. Corrosion morphologies show that pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion as the main corrosion types occur on the specimen surface, and that the crevice corrosion makes more contributions. The corrosion data results show that average corrosion rate, maximum pitting depth and corrosion area ratio reduce with the sea depth increasing and that the highest values are 13.8 μm a−1, 87.2 μm and 18.32% for 1200 m specimen. XPS results show that the oxygen content decreases with the sea depth increasing while the magnesium content increases. Comparing with 1200 m specimen, 2000 m and 3000 m specimens display higher ratios of Al2O3: Al(OH)3 and MgO: Mg(OH)2, which may be ascribed to the slightly higher oxygen concentration. Mott–Schottky results show that donor densities and acceptor densities are 1.14 × 1024 cm−3 and 9.16 × 1023 cm−3 for 1200 m, 2.82 × 1023 cm−3 and 2.10 × 1023 cm−3 for 1200 m, and 3.11 × 1023 cm−3 and 4.05 × 1023 cm−3 for 3000 m, respectively.

The serial-type deep-sea environmental test device was used to investigate the corrosion behaviour of 1060 aluminium exposed at real sea for 0.5 year and 2 years. Specimens were deployed at a depth of 1200, 2000 and 3000 m, respectively. A three-stage corrosion process was proposed after analysing the corrosion profile and the corrosion products of the specimens. The corrosion regularity was studied by employing the imaging processing technology and grey correlation analysis. The results show that the 1060 aluminium is prone to pitting and crevice corrosion. For the 0.5 year period test, the corrosion rate increases from 0.0114 to 0.0147 mm year(-1) when the sea water depth increases from 1200 to 3000 m. For the 2 year period test, the corrosion rate first decreases and then increases when the sea water depth increases from 1200 to 3000 m, and the maximum corrosion rate at 3000 m depth is 0.006 mm year(-1). Oxygen content and conductivity are the most important factors affecting the corrosion rate.
Through marine natural environment tests, the corrosion behavior of T2 and B30 Cu-Ni alloy at different seawater depths of the South China Sea was studied. The corrosion morphology and corrosion product properties were investigated using different techniques, including 3D optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Based on the environmental factor monitoring data and corrosion rate data, environmental factor influence mechanism on corrosion behavior was discussed The results indicated that the corrosion rate of T2 decreased with seawater depths increasing, while it was opposite for that of B30 Cu-Ni alloy. The evolution law of the corrosion rates of T2 at different seawater depths was mainly controlled by changes in seawater temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration. The effect of hydrostatic pressure was limited on T2 corrosion rate, but high hydrostatic pressure could promote Cl− penetrating into the corrosion product film, forming a uniform corrosion morphology for T2. For B30 Cu-Ni alloy, it was simultaneously affected by dissolved oxygen concentration and hydrostatic pressure, and the corrosion product film was rich in Ni and Fe elements.

Pitting corrosion of 2Cr13 stainless steel was investigated by deep-sea exposure test at various depths of 500 m, 800 m and 1200 m in the South China Sea for 4 months. With the aid of electrochemical measurements in simulated deep-sea environments and grey relational analysis, the influence of deep-sea environments on passive film and the mechanism of pitting corrosion were discussed. The results indicated that with the increase of sea depth, pitting depth of 2Cr13 stainless steel increased, which can be attributed to the change of chemical composition and the degradation of pitting resistance of passive film. Film growth was greatly retarded in the condition of low seawater temperature and low dissolved oxygen content of deep sea, resulting in an unstable and vulnerable film. Pitting depth was most influenced by hydrostatic pressure, which can increase the adsorption and penetration of Cl− ion, and promote the proliferation of point defects in passive film, leading to rapid deconstruction of protective oxides of the film. Pitting sensitivity of 2Cr13 stainless steel increased eventually with the combination of accelerated dissolution and suppressed self-healing of passive film in deep sea.
Abstract In order to evaluate the seawater corrosivity of typical sea areas in China and provide guidance for the seawater corrosion protection on marine equipment and facilities, field exposure test was carried out. These typical sea areas under various climatic zones in China included Qingdao, Zhoushan, Sanya and a South China Sea reef, and Q235, copper, 5083 aluminum alloy and 304 stainless steel were chosen as test materials.

Then, based on the metal corrosion rates method and the environmental factors method, the seawater corrosivity of these typical sea areas in China were classified, respectively. Furthermore, the classification results from the two methods were compared and analyzed.
