Abstract
Pack rust, or crevice corrosion, is a type of localized corrosion. When steel surfaces are in contact, or even when a steel surface is in contact with a non-metal, corrosion can initiate and rust starts to pack between the surfaces. This study involves understanding the parameters involved in the initiation process, analyzing pack rust in Indiana bridges, and reviewing existing DOT mitigation strategies and repair procedures. Join us for a discussion.
