Carbon steel corrosion rate
Carbon steel corrosion rate
(OP)
I have a case where building steel has been severely corroded due to HCl and clorides in the atmosphere. The plant is now shut down, so there are no new corrosives in the environment. Will the corrosion be arrested? Or does the steel still need to be blasted and painted to arrest the corrosion?

Therefore, if you have no wetness or cut off the wetness with wrapping tapes or a paint, the corrosion will not occur EVEN IF THE SURFACE IS PACKED WITH "CHLORIDES".

The government sponsered SHRP program during the early 90's had a specific study addressing the influence of chloride content vs pH on the rate of corrosion of carbon steel. You might contact either Paul Virmani or Donald Jackson of the FHWA in Washington, DC or the Fairbanks Research Center outside of Washington.
