Corrosion rate of carbon steel in seawater

Corrosion rate of carbon steel in seawater

Corrosion rate of carbon steel in seawater

(OP)
Can anyone give estimate figures for corrosion rate of unprotected carbon steel in seawater as a factor of depth and temperature?  Are there any technical literature/study reports which is useful?

Thanks

RE: Corrosion rate of carbon steel in seawater

There are a whole series of papers in Corrosion by R E Melchers one of which is:

Effect Of Immersion Depth On Marine Corrosion Of Mild Steel
Vol 61, (9), 2005, pp 895-906

there are other for temperature, water velocity, nutrient content and many more parameters
