Guedes Soares, C., Garbatov, Y., Zayed, A. and Wang, G. (2005) , “Non-linear Corrosion Model for Immersed Steel Plates Accounting for Environmental Factors”, Transactions of SNAME, Vol.113, pp. 306-329

The effect of the different marine immersion factors on the behaviour of the immersion marine corrosion wastage all over the ship’s service life is studied here. A new corrosion wastage model based on the non-linear time dependent corrosion model accounting for various immersion environmental factors including the effect of salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and flow velocity is also proposed. Finally, a numerical example of the application of the new corrosion model accounting for ships service life in different routes through the Pacific Ocean is demonstrated here.
