초록

This study aimed to examine effects of microstructural changes through quenching and tempering (QT) and quenching and partitioning (Q&P) heat treatments on corrosion behavior of ultra-high-strength alloy steel containing Cr, Mo, Ni, and Cu. Electrochemical methods including polarization and impedance spectroscopy along with microstructural characterization indicated that the conventional partitioning process could lead to formation of retained austenite with larger size in a martensitic matrix, resulting in a higher corrosion rate in saline environments. In contrast, a slightly higher partitioning temperature than marten-site transformation start temperature produced more finely distributed austenite in a bainitic matrix, exhibiting greater long-term corrosion resistance. This improvement was primarily attributed to the uniform distribution of Ni in the microstructure and the formation of Cr-enriched corrosion product with inhibiting properties in advanced stages of corrosion. These findings provide significant insights into alloying strategies to ensure superior long-term corrosion resistance of ultra-high-strength alloy steel in neutral aqueous environments.
