All ordinary ferrous structural materials, mild steels, low-alloy steels and wrought irons corrode at virtually the same rate when totally immersed in natural waters. Wrought iron may be slightly more resistant than mild steel in a test in sea-water at Gosport, Scottish wrought-iron specimens lost about 15% less weight after 12 months immersion than specimens of ordinary mild steel. As shown in Table 3.5, the process of manufacture and the composition of mild steel do not affect its corrosion rate appreciably . 

Laboratory Corrosion Test. The laboratory test procedure for the determination of corrosion rates of coal slurry used in this study was adapted from the method developed by Bomberger (26). The corrosion rates were determined by using ASTM Standard Corrosion Test, also known as the Total Immersion Method (27). The Bomberger technique consists of keeping coal slurry in suspension in a two-liter reaction vessel at a constant temperature. The corrosion rates are determined either by actual weight loss of steel coupons... 

The ASTM Corrosion Test procedure by Total Immersion Method requires that all specimens in a test series should have the same dimensions when comparisons are to be made. In these experiments, carbon steel was used representing the pipeline material. The coupons were cleaned, polished and weighed. Coal-water slurry, 10 to 40 weight percent, was used in the corrosion tests. For the coal-water slurry the intitial pH of the medium varied from 2.3 to 2.6 and the test series containing the nutrient media, the microorganisms and the inhibitors the pH varied from 2 to 2.5. Specimens were immersed in the reaction vessel maintained at a constant temperature of 86°F for 72 hours or the specified time. The coupons were removed, washed with deionized water, dried and weighed. The loss in weight of the specimen, before and after the test was attributed to corrosion. 

The reliability of this real life experience is corroborated by the results of laboratory research. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C581 [6] is designed to reflect the resin deterioration when a laminate is totally immersed in a corrosive medium. Central to the procedure is the strict specification of a standard laminate and of standard conditions for exposing samples to corrosive liquids. The method specifies determining the hardness and flexural properties of the laminates at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. 

Taking these aspects into consideration, the potential for application of Mossbauer spectrometry to corrosion studies is now demonstrated for three accelerated corrosion tests in chloride environments total immersion, dry-wet cycles, and outdoor tests. 

It is worth mentioning that at 0.6 M NaCI concentration for 46 days, the corrosion rate for CS and WS were of 3l00 xm per year and 3686 xm per year, respectively. For comparison purposes, it is possible to see that the performance of both steels in such aggressive environments of high chloride content is very poor, but it is even three to five times worse than in the case of total immersion tests. These corrosion rates seem to be inversely related to the iron conversion factor, which is lower (about 0.21) in the immersion tests than in the dry-wet tests (about 0.80). The different behaviors should be related to the type of iron phases, their characteristics, and their relative amounts.

The history of airplane corrosion testing includes many successful tests that are now performed routinely, e.g., ASTM G 85 Annex A2 and ASTM G 44. Some other successful tests, such as the wedge test (ASTM D 3762, Test Method for Adhesive-Bonded Surface Durability of Aluminum), discovered as a result of bond line corrosion problems on airplanes, are not described here because they are not strictly corrosion tests. Many of the tests described here are ASTM standards. With others, standardization is being pursued, e.g., electrochemical impedance, or ANCIT (Aluminum-Nitrate Chloride Immersion Test), to replace EXCO [4], Corrosion may never be totally eliminated from an airplane however, further refinements in corrosion testing, made...

Tests at Miami, Florida have exposed identical specimens by continuous total immersion and by intermittent immersion during high tide. The continuously immersed specimens tended to develop fewer but deeper sites of corrosion. Tests on pilings and pipe exposed above and below water have shown that increased pitting sometimes occurs at the waterline and in the splash zone. This most likely is the result of increased oxygen content near the surface, plus concentration effects due to partial drying in the splash zone. 

Corrosion tests have been conducted on 1 inch x 2 inch furan polymer concrete test cylinders made with Quaker s QO FA-RoK resin/catalyst system by totally immersing them in several key media at 1 SOT for one year. Results of these tests indicate that furan polymer concrete should be suitable for use in environments that have been serviced for many years by furan mortars and furan FRP equipment. 

A scratch was created on the coated specimen using a rod with a diamond tip on a scratch tester (IMC-1552, Imoto Machinery Co. Ltd.). The load for the scratch was 30 g. The scratched specimen was put in a holder and connected to a conductive wire, followed by immersion in a 0.0005 M NaCl corrosive solution, maintained at 40°C. The electrochemical impedance spectroseopy of the scratched specimen was measured at intervals of 4 h, or more, for a total of 24 h. Measurement data were analysed to calculate the polarisation resistance after the test. Scratched specimens were also immersed in a 0.0005 M NaCl corrosive solution at 40°C for 7 days. The surface appearance of the specimens was observed after the corrosion test to confirm the self-healing properties of the coatings. The seratched part of the specimen was analysed after the corrosion test by Electron Probe Micro-Analysis (EPMA).
