Impact of Air Pollution and Climate Conditions on Carbon Steel in Slovak Republic

Abstract:

The paper describes the impact of multi-pollution of atmosphere on carbon steel construction material in Slovak Republic. Corrosion like one of the most decisive factor determining the lifetime of material increases the risk of failure, which has considerable impact on maintenance costs. The objective of the article is to calculate potential material losses of carbon steel using the dose-response functions derived from the results of outdoor exposure program and by STN EN ISO 9223. The values were calculated and compared from 2003 to 2014. For comparison the impact of air pollution and climate condition maps of the mass loss and maps of the corrosion rate were created using 4-year averages - dates (2003-2006, 2007-2010 and 2011-2014). Actually, map of corrosion losses does not help to protect materials, but it can be useful for prediction of risks by design and analysis.
