A36 steel corrosion rates
A36 steel corrosion rates
(OP)
Does anyone know where I can find corrosion rates for A36 steel in a severe marine environment?
I have crevice corrosion between a clevis and gusset plate less than 1/4 mile from the ocean.
Thanks,
Nick

RE: A36 steel corrosion rates
From ASM Handbook, Volume 13C
the rate of low carbon steel (similar to A 36) in a marine environment can vary from 0.53 mils/yr (rural) to 3.57 mils/yr (industrial), 5.73 mils/yr(mild) to 20 mils/yr (severe).
