Comparison of corrosion resistance of material; Brief summary of an experiment

Abstract

The aim of this research was to assess the corrosion resistance of three types of steel under different conditions. The results demonstrate that MMFX steel exhibits a notably longer lifespan due to its enhanced corrosion resistance. Specifically, the corrosion rates for carbon steel range from roughly 25 to 35 miles per year, while MMFX steel experiences a rate of only 0.1 to 0.5 miles per year. Based on these findings, we estimate that structures made from carbon steel last about 50 years, those made from stainless steel around 100 years, and MMFX steel can last 120 years or more. As a result, we recommend MMFX steel for large-scale structures like bridges.
