THE APPLICATION OF RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY IN MODELING CORROSION RATES

摘要

Numerous statistical tools and techniques can be applied once corrosion loops have been accurately established. Statistical calculations offer appropriate means to model and analyze corrosion data (pH, exposure time, and corrosion rates among others). The modeling process usually starts by analyzing the association between the variables and continues with formal modeling once an association is apparent. A better understanding of the results can be obtained when the results of the data analysis are combined with statistical plots.
