Corrosion rated of uncoated steel

Corrosion rated of uncoated steel

Corrosion rated of uncoated steel

(OP)
Can anyone provide generally accepted anticipated rates of corrosion for uncoated steel exposed to the elements? I realize the rates of corrosion will vary based on a myriad of environmental criteria, but are there some basic ranges of corrosion rates that can be provided?

Thanks,
Tim

1/8" per twenty years.

Try the piling code

RE: Corrosion rated of uncoated steel

In a typical environment corrosion rates have been determined at: 0.008in/yr.

In more corrosive environments rates extend to 0.012in/yr.

You can find this information in many FHWA or NCHRP references.
