Abstract
Three‐year exposure programme was carried out in Saudi Arabia at nine test stations with different climatic and pollution conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the joint effect of atmospheric pollutants (Cl^−^ and SO~2~), relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T) on the atmospheric corrosion of galvanized steel (GS) and aluminium (Al). Corrosion rates of the two metals have been obtained by loss of weight after 1, 2 and 3 years exposure. The composition of the corrosion products formed on the specimens was identified by X‐ray diffraction analysis. A classification of the atmospheric corrosion aggressivity of the test sites based both on environmental data and corrosion rate measurements was made according to ISO 9223. In some regions, it can be found that corrosion rate values exceed those established by the ISO standard.

This paper summarizes the results obtained in the MICAT project for mild steel specimens exposed for 1 to 4 years in 47 marine atmospheres in the Ibero-American region. All these atmospheres were characterized for climatology, pollution and corrosion rates according to ISO standards. Complementary m
Green rust 2 (GR2(SO 2À 4 )) was detected amongst the products formed on a carbon steel rod exposed to atmospheric corrosion using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The presence of green rust 2 has been related to sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) in the sea spray. These were detected using test catch rods ma

## Abstract The corrosion failure behavior of marine steel is affected by stress, which exists in offshore structures at sea‐mud region. The sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) in the sea‐mud made the steel more sensitive to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and weaken the corrosion fatigue endurance. In
