In this article the corrosion rate of the austenitic stainless steel type 304, under the synergistic effect of environmental factors has been assessed via potentiodynamic polarization scan. Salinity, velocity, pH and temperature are the factors which induce effects on the corrosion rate of the considered metal. Quantitative analysis is applied using the full two-level factorial experimental design method, which results in the contribution value of each parameter in changing the quantity of average corrosion rate in both individual and synergistic cases. Besides this quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis has been used to predict the variation direction. These two analyses show the important role of the synergistic action, which changes the variation direction of corrosion rate and the contribution percentage of each parameter in varying the value of corrosion rate. Applying both these analyses can show the magnitude and quality of each parameter’s effect, which is remarkably valuable in marine applications.
