Abstract
Corrosion of five steel bodies of passenger cars of models 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, &
2005 that are used in Mosul city were studied under atmospheric and aqueous during
2009-2010. Atmospheric corrosion rates were below 1.7 mpy, which is classified as low
corrosion, this is due to dry weather conditions during the study period , and the quality
of steels of the car bodies. Aqueous corrosion rates were also low, below 4.57mpy, and
this is due to good water quality of Mosul , low Langelier saturation index, ideal
corrosion index, and the quality of steel body cars.
Key Words: Mosul city, Atmospheric Corrosion, Car Body Steels, 2010.
