With the rapid development of power grid and the continuous aggravation of heavy industry pollution, more and more attention would be paid to the corrosion of metallic components of transmission line. The chemical and electrochemical corrosion of transmission tower and its fittings would shorten the service life. Therefore, it requires regular anti-corrosion coating treatment or even overall replacement, which not only wastes a lot of financial and material resources, but also causes safety accidents. In this paper, different testing methods such as macro inspection, metallographic analysis and energy spectrum analysis were adopt to investigat and analyse corrosion behaviour of cotter pin, fitting, guyed rod and angle steel used in transmission tower. Additionally, corresponding anti-corrosion measures were put forward in order to improve the anti-corrosion performance of the metallic components and guarantee the safety and stability of transmission line.
