Corrosion Characteristics Corrosion of steel as a function of marine environmental conditions is 19 illustrated in Figure MARINE ATMOSPHERE SPLASH ZONE HIGH TIDE LOW TIDE QUIET SEAWATER MUD LINE 0 5 10 15 20 TYPICAL CORROSION RATE OF STEEL (mpy) Figure 2 - Corrosion of Steel in the Marine Environment The splash zone is most aggressive since materials are generally in con- tact with aerated seawater resulting from wave action. Air bubbles tend to make the environment more aggressive by removing protective films or dislodging coatings. Steels continuously immersed in seawater corrode at a uniform rate, averaging 5 mpy. Long-term data show that the corrosion rate actually decreases to values below 5 *-" 11.
