We studied atmospheric corrosion on Rapa Nui Island, using galvanized and non-galvanized SAE 1020 steel samples exposed on racks. We also added Charpy samples of both materials to directly determine the effect of corrosion rate on these materials' impact toughness. The results indicated a correlation between corrosion rate and toughness loss in the studied materials. In the corrosion study, we could also demonstrate the effect from increased insular population growth on contaminants which aid atmospheric corrosivity. Results showed that atmospheric SO has tripled compared with similar corrosion studies done 20 years ago (Mapa Iberoamericano de Corrosión, MICAT), increasing corrosion rates. Our results show how human factors can influence changes in environmental variables that strengthen corrosion.
我们在复活节岛研究了大气腐蚀情况,使用了暴露在架子上的镀锌和未镀锌的SAE 1020钢样本。我们还添加了这两种材料的夏比样本,以直接确定腐蚀速率对这些材料冲击韧性的影响。结果表明,在所研究的材料中,腐蚀速率与韧性损失之间存在相关性。在腐蚀研究中,我们还可以证明岛屿人口增长增加对有助于大气腐蚀性的污染物的影响。结果表明,与20年前进行的类似腐蚀研究(《伊比利亚美洲腐蚀地图》,MICAT)相比,大气中的二氧化硫增加了两倍,腐蚀速率也随之增加。我们的研究结果表明了人为因素如何影响强化腐蚀的环境变量的变化。
