The product was characterized by Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), magnetic measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The structures of the reaction products were confirmed to be the monoclinic structure P21/n, but impurities were detected in them. In the undoped sample small amounts of lithium iron oxide or lithiated magnetite was obtained, whereas a magnetic phase was found in samples with more than 10 % (mole fraction) of Mg doping.

Kinetics of the short-term atmospheric corrosion process and the relationship with exposure time and environmental characteristics of each site were investigated. The atmospheric exposure conditions, particularly the time of wetness, deposition of chloride, and the washing effect of contaminants on the metal surface by rain are of upmost importance in determining the corrosion behaviour and composition of rust. The corrosion products were mainly identified using room temperature and low temperature (80 K) Mössbauer spectroscopy, FTIR, and X-ray powder diffraction. In all samples,γ-FeOOH andα-FeOOH were the main constituents. Maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), magnetite (Fe3O4), and Akaganeite (β-FeOOH) were also ...

They are environmentally classified by ISO 9223 as S 1 P 0 τ 4 and S 3 P 0 τ 5 , respectively. In this humid-tropical marine climate corrosion rates are rather high, especially at Sherman Breakwater test site, mainly due to the high deposition of chloride, among other environmental conditions. Our results indicate that indoor corrosion is highly determined by the time of wetness and chloride ions. A-588 weathering steel corroded at a generally lower rate than COR-420 weathering steel. Rust characterization was performed by XRD, FTIR, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Lepidocrocite, goethite, maghemite and akaganeite were found as corrosion products. Akaganeite is only detected when high chlorides deposition rates are obtained, and no washing effect occurs. This phase, together with maghemite, is obtained when there is greater aggressiveness in the environment.
