Resistance to atmospheric corrosion in different environments located in Chile and the corrosion’s effect on the mechanical properties of SAE 1020 steel were studied. Atmospheric corrosivity categories at each station under study were determined. These categories were C2, for Laja; C3 and C4, for th...
