Corrosion of Buried Mines
Abstract
This paper discusses how observations of corrosion in buried mines can improve our ability to predict corrosion in steel munitions buried in the US (i.e., unexploded ordnance (UXO)). It proceeds from the hypothesis that the corrosion that takes place in metals, joints, dissimilar metal interfaces, etc., that are present in mines, may be correlated with corrosion in UXO. Listings of buried landmines having steel casings are presented, along with country of origin and limited design information.
