Abstract

Atmospheric corrosion is one of the natural phenomena with the greatest impact on the integrity of metallic infrastructures worldwide and especially in tropical environments. However; most atmospheric corrosion studies carried out in natural environments do not exceed 5 years of exposure; and studies with results of 10 or more years are even fewer. This study evaluates the corrosion kinetics of carbon and galvanized steels exposed in the downtown area of Medellín; classified as a moderate aggressiveness environment; from results obtained at 1; 2; 5; 8 and 11 years. For both materials; a corrosion kinetic equation was obtained from Log-Log plots of mass loss; useful for making long-term predictions of the deterioration of structures exposed to the atmosphere. The corrosion of the galvanized was approximately between 10 to 17 times lower than that of carbon steel.
