EVALUATION OF CARBON STEEL ROD CORROSION IN A DIFFERENT MEDIAS

Experimental investigation is performed to simulate the steel rod corrosion into the machinery parts after used and exposure to different corrosive medias. Five samples of carbon steel used in this study and it is submerged into three types of water medias (pure water, drainage water , and sulfuric spring water) with periods ( 3, 6, 12, and 24 Weeks). It was concluded that the values of the corrosion rate at low exposure time (t=3 Weeks) are greater than that for long exposure with the fact that the weight loss of carbon steel increased with time. In addition to, it was found that corrosion rates of these products vary in the different corroding media the steel rods into pure water media has a higher corrosion resistivity than that it submerged into a drainage water media and a sulfuric spring water media , and that the samples into a drainage water media has a higher corrosion resistivity than that into the sulfuric spring water media. Also the rod samples with high percent carbon essentially corroded more than that it has low percent of carbon samples at the same environments.
