Corrosion behavior of carbon steel under flowing condition

الملخص EN

The behavior of carbon steel in 0.1 N NaCl solution under flowing conditions and at 30◦C was analyzed by using two methods, viz, weight method and polarization one and comparing them.

It was found that the corrosion rate is affected by alternating the velocity of the solution, generally, higher mass transfer rates were obtained in weight loss than in the polarization method.

Empirical equations were obtained for the two methods that relate the corrosion current versus the velocity of solution.
