Which following expression is used to find the corrosion rate from current density of a corroding specimen?(a) W/At = [(I × am) / (n × F)](b) W/At = [(I × am) / (n × d × F)](c) W/At = [534 × (I × am) / (n × F)](d) W/At = [(I × am) / (n × F)] and W/At = [(I × am) / (d × n × F)]This question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question comes from Corrosion Rate Expression topic in portion Corrosion Principles of Corrosion Engineering

Answer»

Right option is (d) W/At = [(I × am) / (N × F)] and W/At = [(I × am) / (d × n × F)]

The explanation: W/At denotes the CORROSION rate, I= CURRENT density, am=molecular weight, n=number of electrons transferred, F=faraday constant (96500), d=density of a specimen. [(I*am) / (n*F)] is used to calculate the MDD WHEREAS the [(I*am) / (n*d*F)] is used to calculate the MPY.
