Abstract: In order to study the corrosion behavior of transmission line under 30 mA leakage current, in this paper, the corrosion weightlessness of metallic materials under different SO2 concentrations and different leakage currents is analyzed. When SO2 concentration is relatively low, the effect of leakage current on corrosive weightlessness is not obvious; when SO2 concentration is relatively high, leakage current will expedite the corrosion of metallic material and more metastable γ-FeOOH will accumulate on the surface. When γ-FeOOH accumulates to a certain extent, parts of it will convert to relatively stable α-FeOOH and Fe3O4 and the corrosion is mitigated by the stable products, which improves the corrosion resistance of samples.
