Abstract: The appearance,formation and development of corrosion products on archaeological iron in simulated soil media (0.06 mol•L-1 NaCl+0.03 mol•L-1 Na2SO4+0.01 mol•L-1 NaHCO3 aqueous solution) were investigated through metallographic technique,micro-Raman spectrometry and X-ray diffraction.The study showed that,selective corrosion of iron occurred on the cast iron in the solution in the first 34 h,with some white wreath-shaped Fe(OH)2 depositing on the surface and dispersed Fe(OH)2 depositing inside the wreath. After 120 h,the surface of the sample was covered with a layer of green rust(GR),which mainly consisted of GR(Cl-)(molecular formula:Fe3Fe(OH)8Cl•2H2O)and GR(SO2-4)(molecular formula:Fe4Fe2(OH)12SO4•2H2O),and the outside of the green rust changed into γ-FeOOH when contacting with air. About 288 h later,the corrosion products became double layers: the inner layer was composed of crystalloid black FeO and Fe3O4,and the outer layer was brick red γ-FeOOH, which was devastating to the conservation of iron artifacts because of its loose structure.So such ions as Cl- and SO2-4 which contributed to the formation of γ-FeOOH must be removed from the corrosion products of archaeological iron in order to prolong the life of iron antiquities.

摘要: 采用金相、显微激光拉曼和X射线衍射等技术研究了仿古铸铁在模拟土壤介质(0.06 mol•L-1 NaCl+0.03 mol•L-1 Na2SO4+0.01 mol•L-1 NaHCO3溶液)中的腐蚀形态、腐蚀产物的形貌及其生长和发展过程.结果表明,在最初的34 h内,铸铁发生铁的选择性腐蚀,在试样表面留下许多白色圈状的Fe(OH)2沉淀,圈内则是分散状的Fe(OH)2;浸泡120 h时,观察到试样表面有一层深绿色的腐蚀产物,其组分主要为GR(Cl-)(化学式为Fe3Fe(OH)8Cl•2H2O)和GR(SO2-4)(化学式为Fe4Fe2(OH)12SO4•2H2O),绿锈表面呈黄色;约288 h后,腐蚀产物呈现分层,内层主要由黑色结晶状的FeO和Fe3O4组成,外层主要为疏松多孔的砖红色γ-FeOOH,后者是铁器表面的一种有害锈.
