tlooto Summary

Atmospheric corrosion of mild steel is extensively studied with focus on corrosion product morphology and long-term corrosion processes.

Abstract

The atmospheric corrosion of mild steel is an extensive topic that has been studied by many authors in different regions throughout the world. This compilation paper incorporates relevant publications on the subject, in particular about the nature of atmospheric corrosion products, mechanisms of atmospheric corrosion and kinetics of the atmospheric corrosion process, paying special attention to two matters upon which relatively less information has been published: a) the morphology of steel corrosion products and corrosion product layers; and b) long-term atmospheric corrosion ( > 10 years).
