What is the corrosion of carbon steel in seawater?
Steel is corroded by the oxygen that is dissolved in water, and in the case of seawater, the process is catalysed by the salt in the water.
Is corrosion a bad process?
No, corrosion is nature's way of recycling some waste substances such as iron and steel that do not decay through other means.
What material is better - stainless steel or carbon steel?
It depends on the applications. Stainless Steel is more corrosion resistant and more expensive. Carbon Steel is cheaper and less corrosion resistant.
What has the author John Christopher Hudson written?
John Christopher Hudson has written: 'The corrosion of iron and steel' -- subject(s): Corrosion and anti-corrosives, Corrosion committee of the Iron and steel institute and the British iron and steel federation
What has the author Francisco Presuel-Moreno written?

When was stainless steel?
In 1912 Harry Brearley was seeking a corrosion resistant alloy for bun barrels. During this process he subsequently discovered a martensitic stainless steel alloy we use today.
How fast does Steel rust?
Steel does not rust by normal corrosion agents.
What effects does ammonia have on steel?
Ammonia reduces the rate of corrosion on steel.
Which grade steel is best against corrosion?
Stainless reply: want to know steel grades other than stainless against corrosion
How long can a stainless steel material withstand corrosion?
Corrosion is a gradual destruction of metal by chemical reactions mixed with the environment. How long stainless steel can withstand corrosion depends on the thickness of the metal.
When was stainless steel discovered?
In 1912 Harry Brearley was seeking a corrosion resistant alloy for bun barrels. During this process he subsequently discovered a martensitic stainless steel alloy we use today.
Does steel react with acid?
Steel is a base, hence the reason it corrodes. The Iron and other elements in the steel are formed to create 'steel', and hardened in a process called galvanizing to stop the corrosion. Also by definition, any metal is a base.
