This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of the microstructures, corrosion products, and environment of corroded anchor rods in guyed towers, identifying key factors related to corrosion.
The mechanical rupture of buried structural components, such as the anchor rods of guyed transmission towers, poses a significant problem in electrical and mechanical engineering. In this work, joint evaluation of anchor rods microstructures, corrosion products, and environmental analysis of corroded anchor rods in a guyed tower was conducted. Microstructural metal analysis, electron microscopy scanning, and backscattered electron diffraction (type FEG-SEM/EBSD) were used to determine the disorientation of the crystalline structure (misorientation angle <5 degrees) and elongated grains with sizes around 2-10 mu m. Predominant crystallographic planes (001) and (1 1 1) were found to be more susceptible to corrosion than (101). Researchers also observed accumulations of chloride ions in concentrations of up to 10.2% in corrosion products, and in the soil surrounding the anchor rod, chloride and sulfate ions were found in concentrations of up to 5.15% and 2.33%, respectively.
