Abstract

Many researches have been carried out on the influence of cracks and corrosion rate. There are two conflicting viewpoints on whether the crack width limits are objectively valid to reduce the corrosion rate; One is thatwider crack accelerate corrosion rate, while another opposing opinion is that the crack width does not directly affect the corrosion rate. Thus, the different understanding of the relation of cracks and corrosion reflects on worldwide standards and codes of practice.
