Description: Long-term corrosion loss data for a variety of metals, including ferrous metals, buried in soils were reported in Romanoff (1957) and have often been quoted in the literature. There have been few investigations of the long-term trending of the data. Herein it is shown that the corrosion behaviour of ferrous metals buried in the ground follows a bi-modal trend with time. This trend is observed for a variety of ferrous metals in many different natural environments. Similar trends have been reported also for other exposure environments. Importantly, it indicates that the corrosion process changes over time. This is illustrated for corrosion mass loss and corrosion penetration for a variety of data sets drawn from Romanoff (1957).
