Arid deserts effects on bare Carbon Steel or Corten
Arid deserts effects on bare Carbon Steel or Corten
(OP)
How will an arid desert such as that in Southern California, effect bare carbon steel(ASTM A36) or Corten A (ASTM A 588) weathering steel?

like presence of Atmospheric contaminants (SO2, HCl, organic acids), distance from the sea...but usually the corrosion rate in a arid desert is very low for carbon steel and weathering steel
this is from a paper of NPL:
"Weathering" or "slow-rusting" low-alloy steels containing 0.2-0.3% copper with minor additions of other elements corrode at about 3 1 to ¼ the rate of plain steels.
In the driest atmospheres, e.g.at Khartoum, the rate can be as low as 0.003 mm/year.

this corrosion model by corrdefense is a useful tool to predict atmospheric corrosion:
