Metal　rubber　(MR)　is　recognized　for　its　exceptional　qualities　as　a　vibration　and　damping　structural　material,　and　it　exhibits　commendable　creep　resistance　under　regular　work　conditions.　However,　the　extent　of　its　creep　resistance　when　subjected　to　environmental　challenges,　such　as　the　wet　marine　environments　found　aboard　ships　or　the　oil-polluted　settings　that　are　characteristic　of　factory　processing　equipment,　remains　undetermined.　Currently,　the　literature　contains　limited　investigations　into　the　static　compressive　creep　behavior　of　MR　within　marine　corrosive　environments.　This　scarcity　of　research　underscores　the　need　for　further　exploration　to　ascertain　the　performance　capabilities　of　MR　under　these　harsh　circumstances.　Leveraging　these　insights,　this　study　initiates　the　fabrication　of　MR　specimens　from　304　stainless　steel　wire　via　a　series　of　processes　including　winding,　drawing,　blank　winding,　and　stamping.　Subsequently,　the　MR　specimens　undergo　distinct　surface　modification　treatments:　silanization　(S),　chemical　pickling　(P),　and　a　combination　of　chemical　pickling　followed　by　silanization　(P-S).　These　treatments　yield　three　categories　of　MR　specimens　that　exhibit　varied　surface　attributes.　A　5wt.%　NaCl　solution　is　employed　to　emulate　a　marine　environment,　and　an　alternate　immersion　corrosion　creep　(AICC)　test　is　conducted　on　the　MR　specimens　with　the　aforementioned　surface　treatments.　The　post-test　analysis　involves　the　examination　of　the　micro-morphology,　elemental　composition　of　corrosion　products,　corrosion　resistance,　and　creep　resistance　of　the　three　specimens.　Characterization　techniques,　such　as　tungsten　filament　scanning　electron　microscopy　(SEM),　energy　dispersive　spectrometry　(EDS),　and　electrochemical　comprehensive　testing　are　utilized　to　facilitate　these　assessments.　The　results　show　that　after　the　AICC　test,　the　corrosion　products　of　the　three　specimens　are　mainly　O,　Fe,　and　Cr.　The　corrosion　products　on　the　surface　of　the　untreated　and　S-MR　specimens　are　covered　in　bulk　on　the　surface　of　the　wire.　The　P-MR　and　P-S-MR　specimens　are　adhered　to　the　metal　wire　in　the　form　of　a　cell.　The　electrochemical　test　results　show　that　the　S-MR　has　the　lowest　corrosion　potential　(Ecorr)　and　the　highest　corrosion　current　density　(icorr)　under　the　AICC　conditions,　indicating　that　it　has　the　worst　pitting　resistance　and　is　more　prone　to　pitting　reactions.　However,　compared　with　untreated　specimens,　the　impedance　Rp　and　diffusion　coefficient　n　of　S-MR　specimens　are　higher,　whereas　the　Q　value　is　lower,　indicating　that　the　passivation　film　stability　is　better　and　the　corrosion　rate　is　lower.　The　Ecorr　of　P-S-MR　specimens　is-447.37　mV,　which　is　relatively　high,　whereas　their　icorr　is　relatively　low,　at　0.91　μA·cm−2.　In　addition,　the　overall　corrosion　rates　of　S-MR,　P-MR,　and　P-S-MR　are　0.024　9,　0.019　2,　and　0.013　4　mm　/　a,　respectively,　which　are　lower　than　those　of　the　untreated　specimens　(0.044　1　mm　/　a).　The　results　show　that　the　silane　film　produced　by　silanization　has　a　better　protective　effect　on　the　S-MR　specimens,　and　the　comprehensive　comparison　shows　that　the　P-S-MR　specimens　show　the　best　corrosion　resistance　in　the　5wt.%　NaCl　solution.　According　to　the　variation　amplitude　of　the　mechanical　performance　of　each　specimen　during　the　AICC　test,　the　creep　phenomena　of　the　four　specimens　occurs　in　different　degrees　in　the　intermediate　immersion　corrosion　environment.　The　height　variation　amplitude　h,　average　stiffness　variation　amplitude　k,　energy　dissipation　variation　amplitude　e,　and　loss　factor　variation　amplitude　l　of　the　P-S-MR　specimens　are-2.23%,　19.21%,-15.14%,　and-3.79%,　respectively,　whereas　the　k　and　e　values　of　the　untreated　specimens　are　29.45%　and-29.31%,　respectively,　which　are　close　to　the　failure　threshold　of　±30%.　Moreover,　the　overall　magnitude　of　the　mechanical　performance　change　amplitude　maintains　the　same　order:　untreated　＞　S-MR　＞　P-MR　＞　P-S-MR.　These　results　show　that　the　changes　in　mechanical　performance　of　MR　specimens　are　affected　by　the　degree　of　corrosion.　That　is,　the　higher　the　degree　of　corrosion,　the　higher　the　degree　of　creep　caused　to　the　specimens.　These　results　also　indicate　that　the　P-S　treatment　of　MR　specimens　is　an　effective　technical　approach　by　which　to　improve　their　corrosion　and　creep　resistance.　Therefore,　this　research　can　serve　as　an　important　reference　for　the　extension　of　the　engineering　applications　of　metal　rubber.　©　2025,　Chinese　Mechanical　Engineering　Society.　All　rights　reserved.
