This study investigates the evolution law of surface characteristic of corroded cold-formed thin-walled steel in industrial environments. Five test specimens sourced from cold-formed thin-walled C-shaped steel were subjected to surface characteristic test. The results show that the evolution law of the surface morphology of corroded cold-formed thin-walled steel and corroded hot-rolled steel is similar, and the surface parameters are related to the average corrosion depth.
PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the evolution law of surface characteristic of corroded cold-formed thin-walled steel in industrial environments. Design/methodology/approachFive test specimens sourced from cold-formed thin-walled C-shaped steel that have been in service for three years in actual industrial environments were subjected to surface characteristic test. The surface characteristic of corroded hot-rolled steel and cold-formed steel were compared and analyzed. The relationship between the surface morphology parameters and the average corrosion depth was established. FindingsThe evolution law of the surface morphology of corroded cold-formed thin-walled steel and corroded hot-rolled steel was similar. The frequency histogram of corrosion depth was mainly single peak with high values on the middle and low values on both sides. The corrosion depth conformed to the normal distribution. The roughness average height and the root mean square of surface height gradually increased linearly with increasing the average corrosion depth. Originality/valueThe reduction in the standard deviation of corrosion depth, the maximum corrosion depth, the roughness average height and the root mean square of surface height of the cold-formed thin-walled steel was smaller than those of the hot-rolled steel.
