Abstract The corrosion of mild steel as a result of 3 years of immersion in deionized water, using Mössbauer results, indicates that γ-FeOOH, α-FeOOH and Fe3O4 are formed as corrosion products. This study shows that purified water will produce α-FeOOH only when the exposure time is long. It is proposed that ferrihydrite, which is formed as an intermediate corrosion product, is converted to γ-FeOOH, which in turn is converted to α-FeOOH and Fe3O4.
