Does anyone know a reliable test that makes rapidly sure that weathering steel will be well adapted ( or not ) to build in a given place with special atmospheric conditions of corrosive aggressiveness ? Of course I mean building without antico painting.
There are standard atmospheric corrosion tests.
For example, see the following at ASTM:
http://www.astm.org/Standards/corrosion-and-wear-standards.html
and under the sub-heading atmospheric corrosion, there are standard methods such as:
http://www.astm.org/Standards/G33.htm
http://www.astm.org/Standards/G101.htm
I know about atmospheric corrosion tests. Which are specific to W-steels ?
Stimulation seems not adequate because we want to mesure the site as it is.
I think that the test does not exist in fact and that owners who decide to use W-steel without painting take all the risks.
- can you do corrosion monitoring using two probes - with and without coating ?(a possible guess)
