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.
