According to ASTM G50‐76 , materials have been exposed to atmospheres of Saudi Arabia. Environmental factors such as temperature, relative humidity and deposition rates of pollutants (Cl − and SO 2 ) were investigated. X‐ray diffraction was used for characterization. Corrosion rates were determined by weight loss. As per ISO 9223 , aggressivity classification was made. The results obeyed well with the empirical kinetics equation of the form C = Kt n , where K and C are the corrosion losses in mg/cm 2 after 1 and t years of the exposure, respectively, and n is constant. Based on n values, the corrosion mechanisms of samples are predicted.
