Empirical Modelling of Metal Corrosion in Loamy Soil and Saltwater Environment
Abstract: The corrosion rate of metal in loamy soil and saltwater environment was monitored, predicted, and simulated using empirical modeling. The metal under investigation is carbon steel, which is found in a loamy soil and saltwater environments. The carbon steel sample immersed in a saltwater medium exhibited a higher corrosion rate compared to the loamy soil sample. The rise in corrosion of carbon steel can be attributed to the physiochemical characteristics …
