The Role of Shear Stress and pH on Mild Steel Corrosion Rate in a Simulated Mine Water

This report focused on understanding the effect of various SS and pH on MS in a mine water, using a RCE. The use of this type of apparatus in lab testing provides accurate SS, and generates electrochemical signatures that deliver repeatable and accurate data. The data obtained from the RCE were correlated with a modified model predictor with comparable CR monitoring, in order to provide more insight into MS corrosion mechanism in a simulated mine water.
