Abstract
The corrosion of mild steel immersed at various depths (0–100 m) from three stations of the Arabian Sea was investigated. The corrosion of mild steel decreased with increasing immersion depth. Significant positive relationships were observed between the corrosion of mild steel and the temperature and dissolved oxygen of seawater. In contrast to this, the corrosion of mild steel was inversely related to the organic carbon and water extractable carbohydrates associated with the corrosion products of mild steel. The data suggest that the organic matter associated with the corrosion products of mild steel may play an important role in influencing the corrosion of mild steel in these tropical marine waters.
