A Study on the Influence of Temperature on Steel Corrosion Over Time

Abstract

Corrosion is the main factor for steel failure. It is a natural process, which converts a refined metal to a more chemically stable form, such as its oxide, hydroxide or sulphides. It’s the gradual destruction of material (usually metals) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with the environment. For this study, the influence of temperature on the corrosion surface of the steel evaluated under the temperature that has been applied ranging between 40 and 110 °C for 2 min for the heat released by the material. The study of temperature absorption was conducted under low temperature between −17 °C until 15 °C for 2 min. This investigation of the experiment showed that the application of corrosion temperature behaviour of steel can be used or applied as the renewable application or purpose in the sector of engineering.
