Corrosion rate, of mild steel

Figure 4-468. Corrosion rate of mild steel in distilled water containing varying concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. (From Ref. [197].)...

Figure 1.3 la to c shows how an increase in the concentration of dissolved oxygen or an increase in velocity increases /Y and thereby increases. It has been shown in equation 1.73 that /Y increases with the concentration of oxygen and temperature, and with decrease in thickness of the diffusion layer, and similar considerations apply to. Thus Uhlig, Triadis and Stern found that the corrosion rate of mild steel in slowly moving water at...

The presence of shell fouling affects the corrosion of steel structures in the intertidal zone where it has been found that the rust formed consists of irregular layers or iron oxides and lime, the latter accounting for up to 15% by weight of the corrosion product". The corrosion rate of mild steel in UK waters for the full immersion and intertidal zone is typically 0.08 mm/y compared with 0.1 to 0.25 mm/y in the splash zone according to the strength of wave action. Above the splash zone corrosion diminishes rapidly to 0.05-0.1 mm/y".

Research has shown that in some cases, the corrosion rate of steel in soil increases with the decrease in SRB numbers, confirming anomalies such as getting high numbers of SRB in locations with no corrosion or high corrosion rates of mild steel where the SRB numbers have been low, as reported earlier by investigators regarding the link between the number of SRB and observed corrosion rates. 

By bacterial manipulation, what is meant is that certain bacteria are used to slow down corrosion. For example, it has been reported " that carbon steel corrosion in presence of the biofihn of aerobic bacterium Pseudomonas fragi or the facultative anaerobe Escherichia coli had been slowed down by 2-fold to 10-fold. Another example is a biofilm-producing baclerinm, identified as Bacillus sp., that was able to reduce corrosion rates of mild steel by establishment of antimicrobial agent-producing biofllm, which inhibited the activity of SRB. 

Corrosion rates of mild steel as a function of chromate and chloride concentration at various temperatures are shown in Table 17.1 [14].

The corrosion rates of mild steel, zinc, aluminum, and copper are based on the results of 5 years of exposure. The rates for bronze are based on 4 years of exposure at the same sites, except for Cape Town, where the bronze metal was exposed at Ysterplaat, near Cape Town, not at the docks. 

Corrosion rate of mild steel in mixtures of gasoline/water and water in gasoline vs added water. 

The influence of chloride and sulfate concentration, and to a lesser extent particle size, is dependent on the quantity of moisture. The laboratory experiments yielded similar corrosion rates to those measured within a bulk carrier (ship) cargo hold. Based on this, and the porous texture and dustiness of coal and iron ore cargo, it is proposed that the corrosion rate of mild steel in contact with coal or iron ore cargo is dominated by the fine particle material that is deposited from the larger particles.

The corrosion rates of mild steel coated with conductive polymers and overcoated with a protective coating of epoxy and having a 1.2 mm diameter defect area of exposed bare steel in dilute HCI environments are listed in Table 31.3. For similar substrates, the corrosion rates in Table 31.4.

Controlled release of corrosion inhibitors maybe involved in new-generation corrosion protection coatings based on conducting polymers. Considerable evidence indicates that conducting polymers provide beneficial protection to many metals in a corrosive environment. However, the mechanism by which this protection is afforded is not well understood at the present time. Many studies since the mid 1980s have shown that a coating of PAn, PPy or PTh can inhibit the corrosion rate of mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium ...
