Sulfuric acid solution is the most common environment in various industrial processes and it is well known that the ion affect on the rate of corrosion of steels. In this paper, corrosion resistance of mild steels, low alloy steels, stainless steels and Ni-base alloys in such environment, are reviewed based on various studies. Types of stainless steels are developed for the environment and the evaluation of these steels is reported for both laboratory scale and field tests.
