Abstract:
      Change of corrosion rate of carbon steels in seawater was discussed. Corrosion and biofouling character of carbon steels in seawater were summarized. The result showed that corrosion rate of the carbon steel exposed to seawater decreases with time, which is stable after one or two years of exposure; the corrosion course can be divided into the process dynamics controlled stage, the oxygen diffusion controlled stage, the growth of fouling organism controlled stage, and microbiological corrosion controlled stage.
