Environmental factors affecting the time dependent corrosion wastage of marine structures

摘要

This paper aims to review the environmental factors affecting corrosion of ship hull structures and formulations that model the time dependent corrosion wastage of marine structures. Three different types of corrosion according to the surrounding environment were considered, namely, immersion corrosion, atmospheric corrosion and tank corrosion. The factors affecting the time dependent behavior of each corrosion type are discussed.
