The Effects of Fluid Flow on The Pitting Corrosion of Pure Iron in Acidic Chloride Media

The fluid flow effects on electrobright pitting of pure iron were investigated. A rectangular channel with minimized wall and entrance effects was used. The electrolytic solution consisted of an aqueous solution of 0.5 M sulfuric acid and 0.003 M sodium chloride. The experiments were carried out under continuous flow rate or were started under stagnant conditions, with the flow rate then stepped up to a preset value. The flow rate ranged between 0 and 80 centimeters per second. The metal studied was "as received," "annealed," and "strained and annealed."
