Corrosion Product Identification by Micro-Raman and Mossbauer Spectroscopy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 July 2020
Extract
Micro-Raman spectrometry and Mossbauer spectroscopy have been used to identify the corrosion products on a steel coupon exposed in an industrial environment for 16 years. The Raman analysis was performed on a polished metallographic cross-section in order to map the oxides across the thickness of the coating. The spectra were recorded using a LabRam Micro-Raman spectrograph incorporating a 17 mW HeNe laser (attenuated to 1 mW to prevent oxide transformation), focused to 1 μm spot size, and 1800 g/mm grating. The confocal line-scan imaging enabled 100 spectra to be recorded in one scan at 0.5 um intervals across the thickness of the coating. The Mossbauer analysis was performed using in-situ scattering Mossbauer spectroscopy on the attached corrosion coating and transmission Mossbauer spectroscopy at 300K and 77K on the removed coating, to measure the fraction of each oxide present. Micro-Raman spectrometry showed that the corrosion products had formed in distinct layers as shown in Figure 1.
