INTRODUCTION
Geographic location plays an important part in atmospheric corrosion because corrosion rates are affected by local conditions. Hence, atmospheres can be divided into the following categories:
Rural Urban Arctic Tropical
Wet Dry
Industrial Marine
For all practical purposes, the more rural the area, with little or no heavy manufacturing operations or with very dry climatic conditions, the less will be the problems of atmospheric corrosion.
