The change in the chemical composition of the corrosion product on steel can be identified with
in-situ Raman spectroscopy while the steel is polarized in a solution. In this paper, we tried to clarify the corrosion process of the steel for gas pipelines.
γ-FeOOH and Fe
3O
4 were detected with the Raman spectra measured in the 100mg/dm
3Cl
− solution holding at −0.3V vs.Ag/AgCl. The coexistence of
γ-FeOOH and Fe
3O
4 was confirmed from the Raman spectrum measured in the corrosion test. It is considered that Fe
3O
4 was formed via the reduction as follows:
Fe
2+ + 8FeOOH + 2e
− → 3Fe
3O
4 + 4H
2O
In the early stage of corrosion,
γ-FeOOH was detected from Raman spectra measured in the 1000mg/dm
3HCO
3− solution holding at 0.5V vs. Ag/AgCl. However, the peak of
γ-FeOOH disappeared from the Raman spectra measured in the corrosion test after the middle stage of corrosion. It is conceivable that the
γ-FeOOH disappeared or that the surface was covered with corrosion products inert to Raman measurement.
We were able to investigate the corrosion process of the steel for gas pipelines with
in-situ Raman spectroscopy while it was polarized in a solution.
