Factors influencing atmospheric corrosion rates in abu dhabi

Author:

Paul Rostron and Chaima Belbarak

Subject Area:

Physical Sciences and Engineering

Abstract:

Samples of carbon steel were exposed to the atmosphere in Abu Dhabi and corrosion rates measured every month for one year. Various angles of repose from 0° to 45° were selected, as well as a comparison between north facing and south facing. The samples were heavily contaminated with airborne dust, even though they were 15 m above grade. The salt content of the dust was high ~2000 ppm) and is believe responsible for the high corrosion rates observed in a country where there less than 30 mmyr-1 of rain. Comparison between top and bottom surface was also made as well as an investigation of the chloride content of the dust. The study produced a protocol that can be rolled out to the whole of the UAE to produce a corrosion map of the UAE.
