"A rule of thumb is that the reaction rate doubles with a 20F to 50F temperature rise." The way I read this was as when the temperature rises from 20F to 50F, a 30 degree F temperature rise. And though not strictly linear, I would think that the corrosion rate would be approximately doubled again given another 30 degree F temperature rise.
