Abstract
Studies of the atmospheric Corrosion of carbon steel performed in the Peruvian city of Cuzco as part of the Ibero-American Map of Atmospheri c Corrosiveness (MICAT) project provided extremely low corrosion value s, the lowest ever reported in the literature. In this paper the autho rs show this peculiar behaviour and comment on its plausible causes.
