Subject: HELP! Corrosion data on COR-TEN steel, Stainless steel, aluminum

Hi,

I am looking for data on corrosion of various metals. Does anybody know some 
good books or sources where I can get this kind of data?

I am basically looking for how various metals (COR-TEN steel, Stainless 
steel, Electro galvanized steel, Hot galvanized steel, and aluminum) reacts 
in different environments (industrial, seaside, etc.) and especially how 
much the metals will corrode over a period for example in micron. 

Does this kind of data exist? I would prefer of course that the data of 
all the materials were covered in one publication - to make it easier to 
compare.

Thank you in advance for your kind attention!

Best regards,

Peter Munk

A wonderful book covering corrision of these materials (and many, many more) is 
"Metal Corrosion in Boats" by Nigel Warren, Adlard Coles Nautical, London, ISBN 
0-7136-3479.   Regrettably, this only covers corrosion in sea or fresh water, but has 
a lot of interesting notes regarding nonstandard conditions (eg, stress corrosion of 
titanium above 300C in dry salt...).

        Shell in the 50s and 60s published a Handbook of Corrosion. The
book covered many different chemicals and their effects on metals. The
solutions were at different concentrations and temperatures.
