Corrosion versus temp.
(OP)
Does rate of corrosion slow down when temp. is below freezing?

RE: Corrosion versus temp.
The one thing to watch our for in cold conditions is what is happening at the warmest place in the system. If the whole system isn't frozed some locations may still be corrosing activly.

RE: Corrosion versus temp.
four requirements, "anode, cathode, electrolyte & metal path", are needed to occur a corrosion.
However, the electrilyte could not be present below freezing temperature if electrolyte was liquid water.
So, the corrosion rate could slow down when temp. is below freezing.

From what you say there would be less corrosion right?

Many of us have leared the hard way that a heated garage in the north will destroy cars. Gets them warm enough for the slush to melt and then the salt has its way with your bodywork.
An unheated garage is the best compromise. Warmer than out doors and no snow, but not warm enough to encurage corrosion.
