YE Ti~. Study on the Effects of Air Pollution on Corrosion of Carbon Steel[J]. Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2005, 27(1): 80-83. DOI: 10.11835/j.issn.1674-4764.2005.01.017.
This paper summarizes the results obtained from the first year atmospheric corrosion test of carbon steel specimens exposed in 12 sites in Asia. As shown by the results
the corrosion rates of carbon steel vary with the atmospheric environment and the difference can reach a factor of 16. Among the environmental pollution factors
the most detrimental factor is atmospheric sulfur deposition for atmospheric corrosion of carbon steel. Especially
in Chongqing
the high SO_2 levels plus humid and warm climate lead to the most serious atmospheric corrosion of carbon steel.
