Calculating Corrosion Rates, steel piles
Calculating Corrosion Rates, steel piles
(OP)
I was wondering if there were any formula's availible for calculating the corrosion rate of steel in soil. I had a question from a client about the corrosion rate of steel piles in the Fort Macmurray area. I took a look at NACE RP0502-2002 and there is an assumption of 16mpy for base steel but is there a better way to be a little more precise.
any help is appreciated.

Nothing that I have seen in literature. In most cases, actual coupon testing is preferred, otherwise, go with the 16mpy.
You might want to add BCT in the above.

I've found this links on the net, just make a search with 'soil corrosion' in my site or google,i think they can be useful for you.
