Abstract
Infrared and Raman spectroscopy were used to study the oxidation of Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> on pure iron, steel and non-ferrous surfaces, under simulated atmospheric conditions (water and sulphate solution). The Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> was unchanged on pure iron and non-ferrous substrates, but was converted to gamma-Fe OOH on steel. The proposed mechanism includes reduction of oxygen, and accounts for the nature of the substrate influencing the type of corrosion product formed. Raman spectra for iron, Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>, gamma-Fe OOH and alpha-Fe OOH are given. -- AATA
