Abstract The purpose of my project is to discover the effects of road salt water runoff on Stainless Steel, Galvanized Corrugated Steel, Galvanized Steel and Aluminum. Then I want to find out which metal has the least corrosive effects from the road salt. This will help determine if we are using the correct metals in situations where they are being exposed to road salt.
