AI Technical Summary
Existing weathering steels rely on precious metals such as Cr, Ni, and Cu, which are costly and scarce. High-phosphorus steels are prone to cold brittleness, and traditional processes struggle to maintain a balance between high corrosion resistance and low cost.
High-phosphorus rare earth weathering steel is used. By adding La, Ce rare earth elements and a small amount of Cu, and by precisely controlling the P content, a stable passivation layer is constructed. The P-Cu-RE composite addition replaces the traditional Cr-Ni-Cu system. Low-alkalinity smelting and controlled rolling and cooling processes are adopted to reduce alloy costs and improve corrosion resistance.
It achieves high strength and excellent corrosion resistance in weathering steel, reducing costs by about 40%, while also possessing good mechanical properties and weldability. The average corrosion rate after 72 hours is reduced to one-third that of ordinary steel, meeting the corrosion resistance requirements of structural components such as power transmission towers.
