The objective of this project is to compare the stress and strain curves of corroded and uncorroded steel in order to understand the effects of corrosion on the mechanical properties of steel. To achieve this objective, uncorroded steel samples will be subjected to tensile testing to determine their stress and strain curves. Corroded steel samples will also be subjected to the same testing process after being exposed to a corrosive environment for a specified period of time. The stress and strain curves of the corroded and uncorroded steel samples will then be compared to identify any differences in their mechanical properties. The methodology for this project will involve selecting steel samples of the same material and dimensions, with one group being left uncorroded and the other group exposed to a corrosive environment. The samples will then be tested using a tensile testing machine to measure their stress and strain curves. The data collected will be analyzed to identify any differences in the mechanical properties of the corroded and uncorroded steel samples. The expected outcomes of this project are to determine how corrosion affects the stress and strain curves of steel and whether these changes are significant enough to affect the performance of steel structures. This research will have important implications for industries that rely on steel structures, such as construction, transportation, and infrastructure, as it will help to inform decisions about maintenance and replacement of corroded steel components.
