Corrosion Severity
Question
What should be the target corrosion rate?
This really depends on the situation at hand, for example, in aircraft we would want to keep this very low, especially in areas that cannot be easily inspected. Consequently, in the Corrosion Severity section of the results output, the user can set the lower and upper limits for the color coding used in the results table – so this could be set according to the advice of your organization materials engineers or proprietary guidelines and standards.
Additionally the MIL-STD-889D defines a rating system for galvanic corrosion rate with a rating between 0 and 6 with 0 being 'galvanically compatible', note the scale for this result is not linear, as seen in Figure 1.
