The corrosion rate of a metal is a function of many factors like:
-fluid to which the metal is exposed (chemical composition, concentration..)
-temperature
-flow velocity
-time of exposure
so it's not possibile to give a simple answer

∙ 11y agoI think it scratches, the only web page that gave me any help was one that was selling a mild steel scratch brush on E-bay...

Is zinc plated galvanized steel magnetic?
Yes, the mild steel under the plating is magnetic. The coating only prevents corrosion.
Is alloys resist to corrosion?
Alloys can add corrosion resistance to a metal
What is the copper percent in mild steel?
Mild steel, not copper.
What happens to mild steel ships hulls operated in freezing waters?
Somebody is doing a Btec. Go do some research like the rest of us mugs.
Does mild steel have iron in it?
steel is the alloy of iron and carbon , so mild steel is an ferrous alloy
What is the main advantage of using stainless steel instead of mild steel?
Many stainless steels are stronger than mild steel. Stainless steel is also corrosion resistant to many different environments where mild steel is not.
What is the main advantage of stainless steel over mild steel?
Many stainless steels are stronger. It's also more corrosion resistant.
Is zinc plated galvanized steel magnetic?
Yes, the mild steel under the plating is magnetic. The coating only prevents corrosion.
What is the fracture toughness of mild steel?
The fracture toughness, or the property that describes the ability of a material containing a crack to resist fracture, of mild steel is around 50 K (where 'K' is the stress intensity factor).
Is mild steel better than stainless steel?
Per the attached related link, the density (hence weight) of stainless is slightly more than the mild carbon steel. Using about 8.03/7.84 ratio of density, for the same volume of material the stainless will weigh 2.4 % more.
How does stainless steel resist corrosion?
It has a quantity of Chromium (usually around 10%) added during the smelting process. The Chromium forms a 'film' on the surface - preventing rusting.
Which is heavier stainless steel or mild steel?
mild steel is heavier
Which is harder mild steel or copper?
mild steel
What has the author F R Bhatti written?
F. R. Bhatti has written: 'The effect of potential on erosion-corrosion of mild steel incarbon-bicarbonate solutions'
Is alloys resist to corrosion?
Alloys can add corrosion resistance to a metal
What is zincalume?
Zincalume is steel with a thin coating of a zinc and aluminium mix to resist corrosion. Most silver/grey "metal colored" corrugated roof sheeting is zincalum these days.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of mild steel?
Aluminium is very light. It can suffer very intense corrosion, but that leads to one of its greatest strengths: the corrosion forms a very well-formed protective oxidant layer (Al2O3) which prevents the further corrosion. In that way, the low-resistance of aluminum to its initial corrosion, results to one of the better corrosion-protected metals in industry.
