Electrochemical investigation on atmospheric corrosion of carbon
steel under different environmental parameters, Anti-Corrosion
Methods and Materials, 60(4), 199-205.
1. The aim of the article
Authors aimed at finding the impact of environmental
parameters on the carbon steel atmospheric corrosion.
2. The purpose of the article
The overall purpose of the article was to focus on the
importance of atmospheric corrosion monitoring as well as
investigating the long term impact of environment on
carbon steel corrosion.
3. Scope
The author scoped assessed the effects of salt particles, rH
and sulphur dioxide on the surface of mild carbon steel for
reducing the corrosion of it.
4. Method(s) (researchers)
Experimental approach was followed by the authors in
order to find the environmental impact on carbon steel
corrosion which included outdoor exposure tests and
laboratory simulation tests.
5. Summary of content
Most metallic materials as well as the structures are
usually

exposed

off

to

environment

containing

atmospheric pressures causing metallic corrosion as a

result.
Electrochemical techniques have been developed in past
to study the corrosion behaviour of the metals covered by
thin electrolyte films, to produce an atmospheric corrosion

monitor (ACM).
It is found that rain, condensation and dew can cause the
water layer on the copper/steel surface. While the real
relationship

between

thickness

of

water

layer

and

corrosion of metal is determined by the help of ACM

technique.
It is noted that as compared to clean sensor surface, two
salt solution can increase the ACM current. By conducting
an outdoor exposure test, similar trend of rH current and

ACM current of copper/steel was analysed.

6. What are the major findings of the article?
The experiments revealed that the water layers over ACM
surface whenever the thickness of film is much greater

Swinburne College Swinburne University of Technology

than the diffusion layer thickness. While oxygen reduction

and expansion controlled the drying of corrosion.

It was also figured that evaporation of water decreases the
thickness of water layer and results into increase of

oxygen contact with ACM surface.

Sulphur dioxide and salts were tow vital catalysts air
pollutants that caused the corrosion of metals. It was
found that one sulphate ion can dissolute into 100 atoms
of ion and its presence may cause a reduction in CRH

level.
7. What are the conclusions of the article?
Corrosion current was found out to be directly correlated
with the humidity and rainfall. Moreover sulphur dioxide
accelerated the atmospheric corrosion in metal due to its
relation with relative humidity. Whereas the salinity also
play a vital role in atmospheric corrosion of carbon/steel.
8. Analysis
Reliable because downloaded by Emerald which a global

publisher.
The authors has focused on the global issue of carbon
steel corrosion while most of the work is backed up by

previous literature.
9. Application to Research
The recent literature has missed the focus on ACM and
atmospheric corrosion. So this research has specifically put
focus on practical applications that can be used to reduce
carbon steel corrosion.
