Corrosion attacks are a scourge on offshore industrial structures. The hot dipping method is a common method used in protecting submerged material from corrosion attacks. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of variations in hot dipping time in Lead (Pb) on corrosion attack by performing corrosion rate test, weight loss measurement, microstructure analysis and fatigue test. The results revealed that the longer the hot dipping was carried out there was a decrease in the value of corrosion rate and weight loss of ASTM A36.
