Weathering steel poles - Transmission lines
Weathering steel poles - Transmission lines
(OP)
Hello there,
Is that possible transmission tower line poles fabricated with weathering steel to be corroded?
I have pictures but I don't know how to insert here. I understand that Cu and Cr added into regular steel to make weathering steel.
These poles have large isolated marking on the surface which appears washed away paint.
If this corrosion what are the causes it happens? a quick response would be greatly appreciated.

If these had been mishandled in fabrication, transport, or erection the result could be accelerated localized corrosion.

As the esteemed members have mentioned - typical problems are salt or ponded water.
