Example 3
A sample of zinc anode corrodes uniformly with a current density of 4.27 x 10" A/cm2 in an
aqueous solution. What is the corrosion rate of zinc in mdd?
Ans.: 1.25 mdd
Penetration unit time can be obtained by dividing equation (8) by density of the alloy. The
following equation can be used conveniently:
Mi
Corrosion rate, r = C.
пр
9.
.....
where
p= density (g/cm3)
i = current density (A/cm2)
M = atomic weight (g• mol-1)
n = number of electrons involved
C = constant which includes F and any other conversion factor for units
= 0.129 in mpy
nding on units)
= 3.27 in mm/y
For instant, the above relationship can be used to establish the equivalent of corrosion current of
1 µA/cm with the rate of corrosion for iron in mpy as shown below
[(55.8)(1)
(2)(7.86).
1 µA/cm?
= 0.129
= 0.46 mpy
