Abstract

The dependence of the pitting potential E_p of 1018 carbon steel on chloride concentration, pH and the temperature of the solution was studied by the potentiodynamic method in accordance with a statistical experimental design. The parameters of the empirical pitting potential model determined on the basis of Box-W ilson ex perimental design method were evaluated using the experimental data. Comparison of the predicted values from the model with the observed values showed that the model is a good fit. From the model equation the most noble pitting potential value of -225 mV (SCE) was obtained when the Cl^- ion concentration, temperature and pH of the solution were 205 ppm, 25°C, and 6·4, respectively. The Box-Wilson experimental design technique was proved to be applicable in modelling the pitting potential of carbon steel.
