The effects of metal cations on corrosion morphology of carbon steel immersed in model fresh water were investigated by surface observation and analysis. Different surface and cross-sectional morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscope. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cross-sectional Auge electron spectroscopy point analysis results suggested that the corrosion products formed in Zn2+ containing solution contained Zn compounds.
