It has been demonstrated that the natural atmospheric corrosion behavior of low-alloy steels in industrial environments can be accurately described by an equation of the form: ΔW = K tN. Thus, reliable predictions of long-term behavior become possible, and a vehicle is provided for accurately assessing the effect on atmospheric corrosion behavior of alloying additions, processing variables, and differences in exposure environment.
