Aerosol salinity and atmospheric corrosion rate of carbon steel were determined at six sites in Nhatrang coastal city. The sites have been selected with different distances from the sea and various heights above sea levels. Results show that the aerosol salinity was strongly influenced by salt collecting positions and by various meteorological parameters, especially by wind speed and directions. Corrosion rates of carbon steel were dependent with the aerosol salinity values at all exposure sites. Besides, atmospheric corrosivities for above mentioned sites of Nhatrang city have been classified according to ISO 9223:1992. Nhatrang atmosphere is considered to be in S1 class by aerosol salinity and C3 class by corrosion rate of carbon steel after first year exposure test.

The corrosion of materials is a result of complex impact from many climatic factors such as temperature, humidity, air pollutant content in the air, rainfall etc. In addition, the corrosion rate of metals can be measured. Each climatic zone is characterized by its corrosion rate. This article presents the testing results to determine the corrosion rate of carbon steel, copper, aluminum and zinc in 12 districts characterizing different climate zones of Vietnam. Testing, evaluation, and classification of atmospheric corrosion were conducted in accordance with the standard ISO 9223. The results show that for all types of studied metals, their corrosion rates which are determined from climatic data are higher than the corrosion rates in reality, especially for carbon steel and aluminum. This difference is more visible in the rural areas.

The first atmospheric corrosion map of South Africa, produced by Callaghan in 1991, has become outdated, because it primarily focuses on the corrosivity of coastal environments, with little differentiation given concerning South Africa’s inland locations. To address this problem, a study was undertaken to develop a new corrosion map of the country, with the emphasis placed on providing greater detail concerning South Africa’s inland regions. Here we present this new corrosion map of South Africa’s macro atmosphere, based on 12-month corrosion rates of mild steel at more than 100 sites throughout the country. Assimilations and statistical analyses of the data (published, unpublished and new) show that the variability in the corrosion rate of mild steel decreases significantly moving inland. Accordingly, the average first-year corrosion rate of mild steel at the inland sites (at all corrosion monitoring spots located more than 30 km away from the ocean) measured 21±12 μm/a [95% CI: 18–23 μm/a]. The minimum inland figure was about 1.3 μm/a (recorded at Droërivier in the Central Karoo) and the maxima were approximately 51 μm/a and 50 μm/a in the industrial hearts of Germiston (Gauteng) and Sasolburg (Free State), respectively. The variability in the corrosion rate of mild steel also decreased by as much as 80% between 150 m and 1000 m from the coastline. Moreover, the impact of changing altitude on the corrosivity of the environment was confirmed, particularly along the coastal regions.

The rate of carbon steel in SO2 Atmospheric Corrosion was modeled by grey model GM (1, 1). The accuracy and rationality of prediction model have been evaluated. The result indicated that the model had a better fitting accuracy. By comparing the calculated values with a predicted atmospheric corrosion rate of carbon steel after 264h, it showed that its relative error has been just 0.5619% which had higher forecast reliability.

The corrosion rates of low-carbon steel, and 304, 316 and 410/420 stainless steels in simulated geothermal media containing hydrogen sulfide have been measured by means of the polarization resistance technique. Good agreement was found between weight-loss and polarization resistance measurements of the corrosion rate for all the metals tested. Carbon steel formed a non-adherent film of mackinawite (Fe1 + xS). The lack of protection afforded to the steel by the film resulted in an approximately constant corrosion rate. The stainless steels also exhibited corrosion rates that were independent of time. However, the 410 and 420 alloys formed an adherent film consisting mainly of troilite ( FeS ) which provided only limited passivity. In contrast, the 304 and 316 alloys appeared to be essentially protected by a passive film which did not seem to involve an iron sulfide phase. However, all the stainless steels, particularly the 410 and 420 alloys, showed pitting, which indicated that some breakdown of the passive films occurred.

Abstract Models for predicting top-of-line corrosion (TLC) rates on carbon steels are important tools for cost-effectively designing and operating natural gas transportation pipelines. The work presented in this paper is aimed to investigate how the corrosion rates on carbon steel is affected by acids typically present in the transported pipeline fluids. This investigation may contribute to the development of improved models. In a series of experiments, the corrosion rate differences for pure CO2 (carbonic acid) corrosion and pure organic acid corrosion (acetic acid and formic acid) on X65 carbon steel were investigated at starting pH values; 4.5, 5.3, or 6.3. The experiments were conducted in deaerated low-salinity aqueous solutions at atmospheric pressure and temperature of 65 °C. The corrosion rates were evaluated from linear polarization resistance data as well as mass loss and released iron concentration. A correlation between lower pH values and increased corrosion rates was found for the organic acid experiments. However, the pH was not the most critical factor for the rates of carbon steel corrosion in these experiments. The experimental results showed that the type of acid species involved and the concentration of the undissociated acid in the solution influenced the corrosion rates considerably.

The investigation of atmospheric corrosion of mild carbon steel as representative of offshore infrastructure has been carried out in the marine tropical of Pelabuhan Ratu, West Java, Indonesia. They are exposed up to 76 days of periods, and their corrosion rates are determined according to ASTM G1-03. The surface morphology, the elemental compositions and compounds were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively.  The environmental parameters of the test site are monitored during exposure, such as air temperature, relative humidity (RH), airborne salinity and dew temperature. Based on the results, the corrosion rates of steels were 2.79 and 2.8 mpy within the 27 and 76 days exposures, respectively. The presence of chloride deposition on the surface of steel can increase the severity of corrosion. Moreover, the detrimental effect of chloride was observed in rust product, which was covered by an oxygen element. The main phases of rust products present were magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (α-Fe2O3.H2O). Several cracks were observed in the rust layer, which tended to exfoliate and lose adherence and protectiveness from further corrosion attack. HIGHLIGHTS The presence of chloride deposition on the surface of steel can increase the severity of corrosion. The severity of corrosion attack mainly depends on the exposure time and some climatic parameters, such as relative humidity (RH), air temperature and chloride airborne. The uniform distribution of the chloride tends to increase the production of ferrous chloride in high RH condition and the aqueous layer deposited on carbon steel. There are two phases on corroded carbon steel such as hematite (α-Fe2O3.H2O) and Magnetite (Fe3O4) after exposure GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract The present study evaluated the influence of the marine bacteria Bacillus cereus Mc-1 on the corrosion of 1020 carbon steel, 316L stainless steel, and copper alloy. The Mc-1 strain was grown in a modified ammoniacal citrate culture medium (CFA.ico-), CFA.ico- with sodium nitrate supplementation (NO3-), and CFA.ico- with sodium chloride supplementation (NaCl). The and mass loss and corrosion rate were evaluated after the periods of seven, 15, and 30 days. The results showed that in CFA.ico- and CFA.ico- medium added NO3- the corrosion rates of carbon steel and copper alloy were high when compared to the control. Whereas the medium was supplemented with NaCl, despite the rates being above the averages of the control system, they were considerably below the previous results. In general, the corrosion rates induced by Mc-1 on 316L coupons were below the results compared to carbon steel and copper alloy. When analyzing the corrosion rate measurements, regardless of the culture medium, the corrosion levels decreased consistently after 15 days, being below the levels evaluated after seven days of the experiment. Our analyzes suggest that B. cereus Mc-1 has different influences on corrosion in different metals and environmental conditions, such as the presence of NO3- and NaCl. These results can help to better understand the influence of this bacteria genus on the corrosion of metals in marine environments.

The objective of this study is to carry out an atmospheric corrosion analysis on low carbon steel in the form of plates and elbows in the port area of Belawan. The exposure of the test specimen was carried out at five locations for 12 months. The location points are notated as A, B, C, D, and E. The process of specimen exposure and data collection followed the ASTM G-1 and ASTM G-50 standards. The measurement results indicated a slight difference in the corrosion rate at each location. Location C and D have the highest corrosion rate and location A has the lowest corrosion rate. Meanwhile, for locations B and E have a corrosion rate value that is not much different from location A. This difference in value is probably a consequence of the distance from the exposure location to the seaside. Locations C and D are adjacent to the seaside while the other locations are not. The steel plate has an average value of corrosion rate 0.2214 mpy and steel elbow has a rate of 0.2412 mpy. From the measurement results obtained, the two specimens exposed at each location are still in the "outstanding" category.
