Corrosion and Runoff Behavior of Carbon Steel in Simulated Acid Rain

Under the condition of simulated rain precipitation in the laboratory, with ElS and SEM observation, the effects of pH value of simulated rain on corrosion and runoff behavior of carbon steel A3 were studied. The corrosion rate of A3 steel increased and runoff action of rain precipitation on A3 steel surface was intensified with decreasing pH value, of simulated rainwater.The runoff and corrosion traces were formed along the flowing direction of rainwater, which appeared more apparently with decreasing pH value.
