Abstract
This is the seventh paper outlining a holistic model of atmospheric corrosion. Previous papers have outlined how airborne salinity can be estimated at any given location, how salt deposition onto a surface can be modelled and what forms moisture can take on a plate surface. The present paper develops a model for rain induced cleaning of deposited aerosols from metal surfaces. The individual phenomena of splash and wash off are modelled, and then the effect of these processes on salt retention is discussed. The results of the models are compared with data from field exposures and laboratory tests. Simplified rules to allow the process to be incorporated into the holistic model framework are proposed.
