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.
What is steel corrosion resistance?
whichever substance that neutralises or reacts with chromic oxide will corrode stainless steel. search for chemical properties of chromic oxide. stainless steel is considered as a "corrosion resistant alloy" that means that is more resistant than the common steel to corrosion. a typical corrosion reaction is when stainless steel is incontact with fluid that contains chlorides, like seawater, and small pit are produced.
Is oxygen the oxidizing agent in combustion and the reducing agent in corrosion?
oxygen is the oxidizing agent in both corrosion and combustion
Which grade steel is best against corrosion?
Stainless reply: want to know steel grades other than stainless against corrosion
What is the metal that speed up corrosion?
Any metal that is higher than iron in the electrochemical series coupled to it will speed up the corrosion. As an example, a copper pipe in contact with steel will accelerate the corrosion of the steel.
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.
What chemical change takes place when steel is exposed to water?
Corrosion occur if oxygen exist also.
What is the benefit of pumping nitrogen into seawater that is stored in steel tanks?
It would displace oxygen and reduce the corrosion of the tanks.
What is the benefit of pumping nitrogen gas into seawater that is stored in steel tanks?
It would displace oxygen and reduce the corrosion of the tanks.
What is the benefit of pumping nitrogen gas seawater that is stored in steel tanks?
It would displace oxygen and reduce the corrosion of the tanks.
Why are ferroalloys used in steel production?
they help eliminate undesired elements such as oxygen and sulfur; they impart special characteristics, such as heat- and corrosion-resistance and strength; and they neutralize undesirable elements in the steel

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.

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.
