Corrosion tables Skip to content

The corrosion data in this section is mainly based on the results of general corrosion laboratory tests, which are not strictly comparable with actual service conditions. The corrosion tables provide an initial guide to the selection of materials and are intended to facilitate understanding of the different types of corrosion damage that can arise due to poor material selection. It is, however, well known that the performance of stainless steel in service can be profoundly affected by minor changes in the environment or use.
