The corrosion tendency and fatigue behavior of a SM480C welded joint in a sea-crossing suspension bridge after twenty-year exposure to a marine environment was investigated in this work. It was found that the corrosion product on the whole surface of the welded joint is loose, with many holes and cracks, which allowing corrosive media enter and reach the surface of the substrate. Localized corrosion occurred in the weld zone (WZ) and the heat-affected zone (HAZ), the maximum depth of localized corrosion in the HAZ reached 1.8 mm, and the maximum local corrosion rate is 0.082 mm/y. By using Bimetallic Conjugation Theory calculations, the galvanic effect of the welded joint was qualified, indicates that HAZ was the most corrosion susceptible area in the welded joint. The galvanic corrosion current on HAZ reached approximately 2 μA, which is much higher than the corrosion of isolated HAZ by about 6.5 times. The corrosion has an obvious influence on the fatigue performance, the elongation of the bridge deck decreases by 40%~70%, and the tensile strength decreases by 4.5%~31.33%. In order to ensure the service safety and avoid premature failure, the average thickness of the corroded bridge deck should not be less than 10 mm under the stress amplitude of 115 MPa. |
