The Effect of Adding Prim ary Epoxy on the Corrosion Rate of Low Carbon Steel in 5.25% Calcium Hypochlorite Solution

The corrosion process occurs in almost all materials, especially metals, slowly but surely, which can cause a material to have limited service life. Corrosion cannot be prevented the rate reduced. One of t he methods inhibit effective is by giving epoxy primer treatment. This study aims examine effect adding on low carbon steel immersed 5.25% Calcium hypochlorite solution. research was conducted using 27 specimens 9 vessels, each vessel contained 3 without treatment, oil paint and primer. Volume 1 liter solution for vessel. results this indicate that able well. reduction weight treated with much greater than untreated lowest given applying 30 days immersion an average value 0.001001695 mpy highest treatment 15 0.005008473 mpy.
