Worked Examples
Влез
Mild steel in seawater: ~0.3-0.5 mm/year
Резултат
After 10 years: 3-5 mm penetration
Significant engineering concern
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✕Assuming uniform corrosion (pitting can be 10× faster)
- ✕Neglecting galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals
Frequently Asked Questions
How do alloys reduce corrosion?
Chromium forms passive oxide layer; stainless steel >12% Cr dramatically reduces corrosion.
