| description | Corrosion is an important problem that engineers and scientists must overcome to avoid the collapse of structures, chemical processing plants, and metallic objects, which can lead to not only economic loss but also environmental and human losses. One of the simplest and most widely used methods to quantify corrosion rates (CRs) is the immersion test. The usual approach that has been used to date, to quantify the CR by this method, is to assume that the initial surface area of the corroding object remains constant over time. It is shown that such approximations underestimate the true CR and that they may lead to significant errors. A formula to calculate the CR considering changes in the area is presented in this work. The formula herein can be used to accurately quantify the CR by the immersion test and improve the quality of experimental data and the analysis and modeling of corrosion phenomena. |
