Explanation of terms of metal materials (IV): Durability
Main forms of building metal corrosion: (1) Uniform corrosion. The corrosion of the metal surface makes the section uniform and thin. Therefore, the annual average thickness loss value is often used as the index of corrosion performance (corrosion rate). Steel is generally uniformly corroded in the atmosphere. (2) Pitting. The corrosion of metal is pitted and deep pits are formed. The generation of pitting corrosion is related to the nature of metal and its medium. Pitting is easy to occur in the medium containing chloride salt. The maximum hole depth is often used as the evaluation index for pitting corrosion.…
