Investigating the Role of PH and Soil Resistivity in the Corrosion of CarbonSteel

Carbon steels have so many uses in power and gas transmission. These steel materials have beenmainly placed in the soil. Such factors as PH and soil resistivity caused the corrosion of mainexpensive facilities. The purpose of present research is to investigate the role of PH and soilresistivity of different soils on the rate of steel corrosion. Here four pieces of the same steel withthe same size were kept in different climates for 3 months and their changes were monitoredweekly. Finally, the effects of these two factors have been studied, then compared. At following,it is attempted that by applying computational methods and modelling, the behavior of thesealloys against these factors have been simulated , also predicted. Then, the theoretical andexperimental data were compared in order to attain generalized results for various types of steel.
