Evaluation of atmospheric and aqueous corrosion of passenger Car Body in Mosul City through the year 2009-2010

الملخص EN

Corrosion of five steel bodies of passenger cars of models 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, & 2005 that are used in Mosul city were studied under atmospheric and aqueous during 2009-2010.

Atmospheric corrosion rates were below 1.7 mpy, which is classified as low corrosio, this is due to dry weather conditions during the study period, and the quality of steels of the car bodies.

Aqueous corrosion rates were also low, below 4.57mpy, and this is due to good water quality of Mosul, low Langelier saturation index, ideal corrosion index, and the quality of steel body cars.
