Abstract
The corrosion of mild steel as a result of 3 years of immersion in dei onized water, using Mossbauer results, indicates that gamma-FeOOH, alp ha-FeOOH and Fe3O4 are formed as corrosion products. This study shows that purified water will produce alpha-FeOOH only when the exposure ti me is long. It is proposed that ferrihydrite, which is formed as an in termediate corrosion product, is converted to gamma-FeOOH, which in tu rn is converted to alpha-FeOOH and Fe3O4.
