Corrosion, Metal Rod, Mass Loss, Material DegradationAbstract
The corrosion behaviour of iron rods in tap water, RO water, Spritzer mineral water, Desa mineral water and sea water for seven weeks was studied. Mass, length, diameter and BOD were measured weekly. The corrosion rates were determined by weight loss using the ASTM G31 method. The results indicated the effect of water chemistry on dimensional changes and corrosion behaviour. RO water showed the lowest corrosion tendency. Seawater due to the dissolved salts were higher with the corrosion related changes. The result showed significant differences among the responses to water-media.
