Abstract

Atmospheric corrosion is ubiquitous in transportation, infrastructure, and other areas, and it always reduces the service life of materials. Bogie, an important component of the high-speed railway, performs bearing, guiding, damping, traction, and braking. The safe operation of the high-speed railway is inextricably linked to its service performance. However, for the high-speed railway bogie, its service environment constantly changes as per the operation of the train and being in various atmospheric environments, such as the ocean, pollution, damp-heat, and severe cold for a long time. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the effect of atmospheric corrosion on its service life. The use of weathering steel in bogie has effectively balanced the cost and service life. With the advancement of science and social growth, previous materials are no longer capable of meeting the current service life requirements. G390NH is provided for investigation as a newly designed weathering steel for the bogie. In this study, the corrosion behavior and the product layer evolution law of high-speed rail bogie steel G390NH in simulated marine and industrial atmospheric environments are investigated using periodic wetting tests combined with corrosion kinetics, conventional electrochemistry, microscopic morphology, and corrosion product composition analysis. It demonstrates that the two ions (Cl^- and $SO_{3}^{2-}$) have different corrosion mechanisms on the material. In simulated marine atmosphere environment, Cl^- has a higher penetrating capacity, and the rust layer consists of unsteady Fe₃O₄ and γ-FeOOH; furthermore, coupled with the effect of alternating dry and wet, corrosion always maintains a high rate and the rust layer does not give a very effective protection function. However, in the acidic $SO_{3}^{2-}$ environment, although the corrosion is accelerated, a layer of corrosion-resistant Cu is enriched in the inner rust layer and simultaneously, and a large amount of α-FeOOH is promoted, which greatly enhances the corrosion resistance of the rust layer.
