REVIEW ON ATMOSPHERIC CORROSION OF WEATHERING AND CARBON STEELS

The recent progress in the atmospheric corrosion of carbon steel and weathering steel is reviewed. The corrosion behavior of the above two kinds of steels is compared.The similarities in corrosion process, corrosion products,and effect factors of the two steels are analyzed.The differences in the corrosion rate and rust microstructure of the two steels are discussed.
