Figure 1: Bar Graph. Distribution of information acquisition and analysis for the IBRC projects. The graph shows the number of IBRC projects for each of the eight notes listed in table 1. Note 1 had five conforming projects; notes 2, 6, and 8 each had one conforming project; note 3 had seven conforming projects; notes 4 and 5 each had eight conforming projects and note 7 had two conforming projects.
Figure 2: Graph. Accelerated testing data for type 2201 stainless steel specimens. Plot of polarization resistance parenthesis RP end parenthesis parenthesis ordinate end parenthesis versus exposure time parenthesis abscissa end parenthesis for accelerated corrosion testing of Type 2201 stainless steel compared to data for Type 316 stainless steel and black bar. A second ordinate plots chloride concentration. Type 2201 surface conditions include as received, iron shot blasted, silica sand blasted, and stainless steel shot blasted. Data for Type 2201 silica sand blasted bars that were obtained from the Jensen Beach Causeway project are also shown. For the black bars, RP was initially about 3 times∙10 to the power of 3 ohms per square centimeter and decreased to 8 times 10 to the power of 2 ohms per square centimeter after 84 days exposure. For Type 316 stainless steel, RP was relatively constant with time and in the range 1 times 10 to the power of 6 to 1 times 10 to the power of 7 ohms per square centimeter. For the Jensen Beach Causeway bars, RP was in the range 3 times 10 to the power of 4 to 1 times 10 to the power of 5 ohms per square centimeter during the initial 50 days of exposure and subsequently increased to the range 1 times 10 to the power of 5 to 2 times 10 to the power of 5 ohms per square centimeter. For the as-received and iron and stainless steel blasted bars, RP was in the same range as for the Jensen Beach Causeway ones initially but after about 50 days tended to decrease slightly with further exposure. For the silica sand blasted Type 2201, RP was in the range 1 times 10 to the power of 5 ohms per square centimeter for the initial 50 days but then decreased to the same range as for the other surface conditions.
Figure 3: Graph. Accelerated testing data for MMFX-II steel specimens. Plot of polarization resistance parenthesis RP end parenthesis parenthesis ordinate end parenthesus versus exposure time parenthesis abscissa end parenthesis for accelerated corrosion testing of MMFX-II parenthesis trademark end parenthesis bars from IBRC projects PR-02, OK-01-01, and DE-00-01 and for bars supplied directly to this laboratory compared to data for Type 316 stainless steel and black bar. A second ordinate plots chloride concentration. The MMFX-II RP data tended to decrease with time from an initial range of 1 times 10 to the power of 4 to 1 times 10 to the power of 5 ohms per square centimeter to 3 times 10 to the power of 3 to 1 times 10 to the power of 4 ohms per square centimeter with job site bars occupying the lower bound.
Figure 4: Graph. Accelerated testing data for stainless steel job site bars. Plot of polarization resistance parenthesis RP end parenthesis parenthesis ordinate end parenthesis versus exposure time parenthesis abscissa end parenthesis for accelerated corrosion testing of stainless steel bars from job sites compared to data for Type 316 parenthesis non-job site end parenthesis and black bar. A second ordinate plots chloride concentration. Polarization resistance data for Type 2205 job site bars were about one order of magnitude greater than for laboratory received bars of this same alloy and in the range 3 times 10 to the power of 5 to 1 times 10 to the power of 6 ohms per square centimeter. Data for Type 316 clad bars were about an order of magnitude below those for the laboratory received solid bar counterpart and in the same range as for the Type 2205 job site bars.
