General corrosion testing was performed near the Sulfuric Acid Plant, Electrolytic Refining Plant and next to the automatic air quality monitoring station in Bor for 6 months, as well as in the salt chamber for 120h and 240h and by immersion of samples in electrolyte solution from the Electrolytic Refining Plant for of a month. The results were compared with the standard samples stored in the laboratory. A method based on measuring the loss of mass was used to evaluate the material corrosion resistance. Samples are rectangular, dimensions adopted according to the standard EN 10002-1. The steel used is S235, and its mechanical characteristics were obtained from the tensile test.
