Abstract:

This project covers the exposure of six different flammable liquid containers to a 240-hour salt spray environment. Five of the containers were fabricated of steel with various protective coatings including terne-plate, hot tin dipped and galvanized. One container was fabricated of stainless steel with no protective coating. The purpose of this project was to determine the relative corrosion resistance of these containers in such an environment. The test results confirmed theory in that the stainless steel was most resistive the galvanized coating protected the base metal with an associated calcareous deposit on the coating the base metal corroded wherever breaks existed in the terne-plate and hot tin dipped coatings.
