Subsoil Corrosion of Steel

摘要

All types of deterioration of metals by chemical or electro-chemical processes are included in the term corrosion. A common type of corrosion is normal rusting. The wellknown reddish-brown iron oxides or iron-hydroxide compounds termed rust are not formed by other corrosion processes.nIn this publication we intend to present the subject for a public consisting chiefly of people who in their daily work are prescribing or using steel for pipe lines, foundation piles or in some other way. It is therefore necessary to touch upon, and in part to deal more thoroughly with, the mechanism of corrosion from a modern point of view.
