Abstract

This study determined that the four corrosive characters of carbon steel in the marine splash zone (MSZ) in China's four sea areas. It has a range and a corrosion peak value. The rust in the MSZ plays the role of "depolarizer" in the cathodic process of corrosion. The growth law of the rust layer in MSZ has a character of "annual ring". In addition the reasons causing serious corrosion of carbon steel in the marine splash zone has been discussed in this paper.
