Corrosion had aroused extensive concern and attention because it was an unavoidable problem for marine equipment and facilities in service. However, the current status and development trend of marine environment corrosion research had seldom been systematically studied. Therefore, it was encouraged to use bibliometrics and information visualization analysis methods to conduct bibliometric analysis of related publications in the field of marine environment corrosion based on HistCite, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer software programs. Compared with the traditional comments of researchers in this field, this research provided a direction for the development of quantitative analysis and visualization of marine environment corrosion on a large scale. The results showed that the overall focus of research in the field of marine environment corrosion continued to increase from 1900 to 2019. China had the highest publication productivity, the USA had the highest h-index value and the second highest average citations per item value, Materials Science was the most popular subject category, Corrosion Science was the main journal and Melchers RE was the author with the most output contributions. This research also exhibited four hot spots in this field. In addition, this work could help new researchers to find research directions and identify research trends and frontiers in the field of marine environment corrosion by tracing the research hotspots of topic categories, countries, institutions, journals, authors, and publications in recent years.
腐蚀引起了广泛的关注和重视，因为它是海洋设备和设施在役时不可避免的问题。然而，海洋环境腐蚀研究的现状和发展趋势很少被系统地研究。因此，鼓励使用文献计量学和信息可视化分析方法，基于 HistCite、CiteSpace 和 VOSviewer 软件程序，对海洋环境腐蚀领域的相关出版物进行文献计量分析。与该领域研究人员的传统评论相比，这项研究为大规模海洋环境腐蚀的定量分析和可视化发展提供了一个方向。结果表明，1900 年至 2019 年期间，海洋环境腐蚀领域的整体研究重点持续增加。中国的发表生产力最高，美国的 h 指数值最高，平均每篇论文的引文数第二高，材料科学是最受欢迎的学科类别，腐蚀科学是主要期刊，梅尔彻斯 RE 是发表贡献最多的作者。这项研究还展示了该领域的四个热点。此外，通过跟踪近年来主题类别、国家、机构、期刊、作者和出版物的研究热点，这项工作可以帮助新的研究人员找到研究方向，并识别海洋环境腐蚀领域的研究趋势和前沿。
