Abstract

This study examined the effect of Sn addition ranging from 0 to 0.1 wt.% on the electrochemical properties of low-alloy steel using electrochemical techniques in an acid chloride solution and surface analysis techniques. The potentiodynamic test showed the active corrosion behavior of all specimens and the corrosion rate decreased with increasing Sn addition. EIS showed that the Sn-containing steels had higher rust layer resistance. These results confirmed that the interaction of Sn with Cu and Sb improves the corrosion resistance of low-alloy steel due to the formation of the continuous tin oxide, copper oxide and antimony oxide layer.
