Abstract

Corrosion of mild steel in ten Indian soils, employing Schwerdtfeger's soil corrosion cell procedure, has been studied. The results have been analysed and correlated with various factors. The study reveals that the rate of corrosion in non- acidic soils is maximum at the beginning gradually decreasing with time. The soils of moisture equivalents ranging 25-30% are most corrosive. Direct chemical corrosion has been found to be very predominant in acidic soil.
