| Poster Title | Corrosion Effects on Secondary Processing of AISI 1018 Steel |
| Abstract | This project details and evaluates the corrosion effects of a 5% salt fog on AISI 1018 steel samples of various secondary processes: machined, bead-blasted, coated, and coldworked over a period of 24 and 48 hours. Samples were weighed and measured before and after the salt-fog test to determine corrosion rates. Images were taken and used to document corrosion behaviors and comparisons between samples were made. The observed corrosion effects were as expected for all samples. The corrosion rate calculations were unreliable due to illegitimate and random errors made during the experiment. |
