Elasticity modulus variation of the AISI SAE 1045 steel subjected to corrosion process by chloride using tension test destructive

Abstract

The study of materials corrosion effect is a great importance topic for the manufacturing industry and also for the customer that requires this. That is why a research study was conducted that aimed to determine the elasticity modulus variation of AISI SAE 1045 steel subjected to corrosion. To achieve this, thirty-five specimens were used, which were exposed to chlorides by immersion processes and salt spray chamber in three periods of time and then subjected to stress test destructive, following the guidelines established under ASTM G-1 standards, ASTM G-31 and ASTM E-8. Variation was found in the elastic behavior of steel and curves that differ from the theoretical ones raised in the documents.
