Bearing capacity and corrosion weight losses of the bonded metal joints in the conditions of Indonesia, North Sumatra province

ABStr Act : The article is focused on the analysis of the bonded metal joints capacity and corrosion weight losses in the conditions of equatorial Indonesia - North Sumatra province. For the purpose of the given article, the province was divided into three main climatic zones: Medan, Balige, Pagarbatu, where the dependence was observed of the bonded joints capacity on the duration of the weather exposure. The joints life and their further usability were predicted based on the analyses of the measured values.
