Corrosion study of mild steel, tor steel and CRS steel by weight loss method
ABSTRACT: In present investigation an attempt has been made to investigate corrosion rate of mild steel, Tor steel and CRS steel in reinforced concrete. The five concrete block sites have been selected. The factor causing corrosion and conditions of the environment has been studied. Attempt has been made to consider conditions which will help to get greater protection against corrosion problem for industries as well as household articles. Introduction : Corrosion is the destructive attack on a metal or a metal alloy by chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment . Metal and its alloys tend themselves to many engineering application because of their combination of lightness with strength, thermal and electrochemical conductivity, reflectivity and non toxic qualities . Iron is used in the form of stainless steel for making cutlery, hospital and food service equipment. Carbon steel is the most common, cheapest and most versatile metal used in indu...
