The authors analyze the results of investigations of the atmospheric corrosion of five metals (Fe, Zn, Cd, Al, and alloy AMTs), together with the results of observations on the weather during the exposure of the specimens in 29 regions of the Far East and Eastern Siberia. They suggest a method of calculating the duration of existence of liquid-phase deposits on the metals by using data from a study of the air temperature and humidity. They develop models of atmospheric corrosion and determine the values of the coefficients occurring in them in order to calculate the corrosion losses of the metals in coastal and continental regions of the Far East and Eastern Siberia.
