Atmospheric corrosion models

A number of damage functions or dose-response equation, which are compared to the atmospheric corrosion of metals with environmental parameters, have been determined in field programs ISOCORRAG, UN ECE ICP Materials Exposure Programme and Multi-Assess. The all of these dose-response equations are derived on field exposure results performed during period 1986-1995 where the SO₂ level was relative high at urban and very high at industrial test sites. Several exposure programmes, national and international, of structural metals’ atmospheric corrosion were conducted since the 1970s on Czech atmospheric test sites including on-site measurement of environmental data. All data from these exposure programs were compared with prediction models.
