Abstract

There are many beverages in the market. People usually choose the beverage depending on its flavor, but barely have the knowledge about its corrosivity. A systematic study was carried out to investigate the corrosion behavior of X-60 mild steel in several beverages (Coca Cola, Laoshan Cola, Qingdao beer, Kvass, Laoshan Oldenlanidawater, and Laoshan Soda) in opened and closed systems by weight loss measurement at room temperature and atmosphere pressure. The comparison for each beverage in opened and closed systems was made to understand the effect of releasing CO2 on the corrosivity. The corrosivity of tap water in the opened system was also investigated to compare with other beverages. The initial pH value and change of pH with test time was measured. The results showed all beverages tested in this study was acidic while tap water was alkaline.Compared to the opened system, each beverage had a lower corrosion rate in the closed system except for Kvass. The corrosivity of beverages and tap water decreased in the order of Kvass, Coca Cola, Laoshan Cola, Laoshan Oldenlandianwater, Laoshan soda, tap water, and Qingdao beer.
