2. Description of the Related Art Weather-resistant steels having improved corrosion resistance in the atmosphere by adding alloying elements such as P, Cu, Cr, Ni, etc. to steels,
Widely used for structures such as bridges. Weather-resistant steel forms a rust called stable rust, which is hard to penetrate oxygen and water, which cause corrosion outdoors, in a few years, and suppresses subsequent corrosion. For this reason, the weather-resistant steel does not need to be coated with a rust-preventive paint, and is a so-called inexpensive and highly corrosion-resistant material that can be used naked.

[0003] On the other hand, in recent years, a guideline for applying weather resistant steel from the Ministry of Construction (“Joint Research Report on Application of Weather Resistant Steel to Bridges (XX)”, 1993.3, Ministry of Construction, Public Works Research Institute, Steel Club, Published by the Japan Bridge Construction Association), in areas where the amount of incoming salt is 0.05 mg / dm 2 / day or more, that is, in coastal areas, conventional weathering steel (JIS G 3114: weathering hot for welded structures) Rolled steel) cannot be used without painting.

[0004] Therefore, in a salty environment such as a beach area, a measure is taken by coating a common steel material with a phthalic acid resin, a chlorinated rubber, a tar epoxy resin or the like. However, bridges constructed near the estuary are strongly corroded and require high repainting, but there are many long bridges and repainting is often difficult. For these reasons, there is still a high demand for steel materials that can be used without painting.

[0005] Further, even in the coastal zone, the amount of salt coming in varies greatly depending on the location. Corrosion of the steel material becomes more severe as the amount of incoming salt increases, and therefore, from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance and economy, weather-resistant steel materials corresponding to the amount of incoming salt are required. In addition, even if it is a bridge, the corrosion environment of steel materials is not always the same depending on the place where it is used. For example, outside the girder, it is exposed to rain, dew condensation, and sunshine. On the other hand, the inside of the girder is exposed only to dew condensation water and there is no rainfall. Generally, in an environment where the amount of incoming salt is large, it is said that corrosion inside the girder is more severe than outside the girder.

To solve such a problem, see, for example,
Japanese Patent Publication No. 136557 proposes a method for surface treatment of a steel material in which an aqueous solution of chromium sulfate or an aqueous solution of copper sulfate is applied, dried with water, and further coated with an organic resin. Further, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No.
Japanese Patent Application No. -13158 proposes a method for surface treatment of steel materials in which an aqueous solution containing aluminum ions is applied, and after moisture drying, an organic resin film is formed. However, in the techniques described in JP-A-6-136557 and JP-A-8-13158, stable rust is formed in a short period of time, but the process is complicated and the surface treatment agent used is expensive. Therefore, development of a weather-resistant steel material that does not require surface treatment has been demanded.

It is said that by adjusting it, it shows excellent weather resistance in the beach area, and it is possible to omit painting on steel plates. However, this steel has a high Cr content, and there remains a problem that toughness and weldability are reduced.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present inventors have intensively studied a rust layer formed on a weather-resistant steel material. As a result, the present inventors have obtained the following knowledge about the rust layer formed on the weathering steel. The rust layer formed at the beginning of weathering steel is γ-FeOOH
And Fe 3 O 4 are the main components. The rust layer is reduced by γ-FeOOH and Fe 3 O 4 due to repeated wet and dry corrosion reactions for several years, and the rust layer is mainly composed of amorphous rust at the X-ray diffraction level. The rust layer is mainly composed of amorphous rust whose crystal system cannot be specified even at a TEM (transmission electron microscope) observation level, and such a rust layer is preferably used in view of weather resistance.

However, in a rust layer formed on a weather-resistant steel material exposed in a beach area, TEM particles are used as rust particles.
At the observation level, γ-FeOOH or α-FeOOH in the shape of bamboo is predominant. The formation of these bamboo-like rust particles creates voids in the rust layer, so that the rust layer has a structure that allows easy passage of water, oxygen, and Cl ions. Therefore, it was found that it is important to form a rust layer in which the formation of these bamboo-like rust particles is suppressed in order to improve the beach weatherability.
