The rate of corrosion of pipeline steel in soil with 6% CO2/N2 The thickness layer of soil affects the speed of corrosion, with a 4 mm layer soil thick representing the greatest rate.The soil layer's contradictory blocking and moisture-retaining capabilities impede steel corrosion. Because more water is trapped in shallow soil layers such as 4 and 6 mm, corrosion rises. The inhibitory effect of layer of soil on corrosive species diffusion becomes more prominent when layer of soil thickness is raised to 12 mm and 14 mm. As a result, the steel's corrosion rate is lowered. Steel degrades quickly in soil layers holding 6% CO2/N2. Weight-loss experiments and potentiodynamic polarization measurements show a relationship between corrosion rate and soil layer thickness. According to weight-loss studies, steel corrosion rates in soil with varying thicknesses and gassing conditions are generally less than 0.046 mm/y. %U https://ejchem.journals.ekb.eg/article_237836_1ef51b9e39efe0a4e735143ba668df6c.pdf
