INTRODUCTIONBecause of their excellent mechanical properties and relatively low prices, carbon and low-alloy steels have become the main materials for atmospheric structures. Atmospheric corrosion of steels has become a major subject of research since the beginning of the century. Larrabee and Cobur...
