corrosion on fresh water submerged steel members
corrosion on fresh water submerged steel members
(OP)
I have been trying to get some information with regards to the corrosion of steel members completely submerged on fresh water.
My intuition says that if the element is under the splash zone, there is very little oxigen and therefore no corrosion.
On the other hand there might be some electrolitic corrosion, although quite minimal in fresh water.
Can anybody help? I would specially appreciate some reference material.

Also if the steel goes in to the soil under then you may get heavy corrosion if it is an acidic soil.

Didnt think of that, a little bit of additional steel would have to be the cheapest option.
